Things are great for LAPD Lieutenant Franco; she's sober, loved, eligible for retirement—and bored absolutely out of her mind. When her squad is called out to investigate a decades-old homicide, Frank happily volunteers to "get out of Dodge" and follow the clues north to a small town in the Salinas Valley.
There, the evidence unexpectedly leads Frank into the untamed wilderness of the Santa Lucia Mountains where she confronts the victim's daughter, "Sal" Saladino. A recluse with uncanny healing abilities, Sal seems as much a part of the landscape as the enigmatic peaks and canyons that Frank finds herself increasingly drawn to. Returning again and again to Sal's remote cabin, ostensibly to discuss the investigation, Frank delves deeper into the land's secrets and her own burgeoning talents.
Sal reveals new mysteries with each visit, and with each visit Frank is called upon to rely on instinct over logic and to trust the ancient counsel in the hold of her bone over modern reason. But how far can Frank trust Sal on this journey into the unknown when Sal might well be the best suspect in her case?
Baxter Clare earned a master's degree in biology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and promptly turned her hand to writing. A practicing wildlife biologist, she lives in central California with her wife, dogs, cats, and chickens. Clare is a Lambda Literary Award finalist.

She's a biologist and the descriptions of the backdrop to (and actually a major player in) this story, the Santa Lucia mountains, are rich and complex and beautiful. Very good story. Interesting characters. I've read everything she's written and I still cannot predict where the stories are gonna go.

I am a first time reader of Baxter’s writing, but I will certainly be adding her other books to my library. Her writing grabbed hold of me from almost the very beginning and did not let go, I was intrigued throughout. Just like with Steinbeck, who receives mentioned in this book, Trautman gives you a real feel for the surroundings (which are plentiful) and the story's rich characters. I felt transported there throughout this novel, as though I was seeing and feeling through Frank. I’m a lover of words and Baxter has given me a whole new appreciation for how a gifted author can string words together as easily as the stars fall across the night sky…and I hung on her every word. I read and reread her lush and mysterious descriptions as they fell off my lips, sweet as a lover’s kiss and I longed for more. The book follows Frank, a homicide lieutenant as she digs for clues related to a recently discovered body, but from a crime committed decades ago. The story is rugged, professional and thorough, but always filled with ongoing multi-layered mysteries, and filled with Native American mysticism. I’ve read the works of several great authors in my time and I’ve come to realize that there is a big difference between being merely a writer of words and an excellent storyteller who knows how to weave a tale and keep you enthralled. Trautman is a true storyteller and one of the best wordsmiths I’ve come across. You will not be disappointed with this mystery as it ranks up there with the best of them. I also recently had the privilege of interviewing Baxter Trautman and she shared that starting from an early age she began reading Steinbeck’s work and that she had also, over the years, amassed a huge library related to the people and culture of Native American Plains Tribes. You can truly sense these strong influences in Trautman’s latest masterpiece.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A very cold case. By Martha Miller I've been reading this author for years, but something has happened to the heroine in this book. Frank, a homicide lieutenant, is sober, a mother and about to retire. To judge the depth of of Frank's transformation one of (any of) the previous books might be helpful. Even if this is the first one you've read, it will work, as Frank tells us what we need to know about the past.The settings are masterfully done. When human bones are found at a construction site, forensics determines that it is a man who lived in the mountains, thus Frank makes her first trip up there, and finds the mountains seem to call to her, seem to belong to her in a mystical way. The dead man's daughter still lives in their ranch. Every time Frank goes up to see her, she comes home with more questions and must return. Carolyn is a woman Frank met at an AA meeting and is "dating." These trips and Frank's absences make trouble on the home front. Frank knows the murderer is up there but it becomes a case she doesn't want to solve. Of course she does.
