Welcome to the homepage of Aimée and David Thurlo, authors of the Ella Clah mystery series set on the Navajo reservation where David grew up. We're also the authors of the Copper Canyon series, romantic suspense novels published by Harlequin Intrigue, as well as the Lee Nez vampire, and the Sister Agatha mystery series. Our stories are set in the southwest where we've lived for many years. There's no other place in the world like New Mexico, a cultural melting pot where cultures live side by side. For those of you who are wondering, yes, we really do write together and we love working as partners. We share both good times and bad, knowing that nothing worthwhile ever gets done without sacrifice and dedication. Make sure to take a look at our adoption page while you're here, too. We remain active with rescue groups and are always working to help find good homes for animals that have been given up or abandoned by their former owners - as well as ones who never had a home at all. Our philosophy: every animal deserves a chance. We'll have a new blog here every Monday. Feel free to leave us your comments and thoughts. We love hearing from our readers. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back again soon.
Black ThunderA construction crew found the first body. The cops found three more, in a cluster that lay on both sides of the border of the Navajo Reservation.
Because some of the bodies were buried outside the Rez, Navajo Police Special Investigator Ella Clah and her team must work a delicate joint investigation with the New Mexico police. Identifying the dead isn't easy-some had been buried for years-and at first the cases look to be nothing but dead ends. Then one of the bodies turns out to be that of a missing man who was believed to have embezzled funds from his construction firm and suspicions focus on the man's partner.
With no obvious links between any of the corpses and the anniversary of their deaths fast approaching, Ella feels frustrated by the investigation.s lack of progress. Unless they can find what connects these victims, someone else may soon be killed. Ella's ability to concentrate is battered by worries about her teenage daughter, who has been skipping school, and her mother, who is cooking up a storm, a sure sign that trouble is brewing in the household.
