Nomadic archivist Cali Rhodes arrives in sweltering Phoenix, Arizona, with a clear directive: digitize the legendary Copleigh Collection of Hopi Kachina dolls before a multi-million dollar auction. It should be a quiet job in a climate-controlled lab, but the desert has other plans.
When the collection's broker is found dead in the Botanical Garden-the victim of a mysterious snakebite that leaves no tracks-Cali suspects the venom didn't come from a reptile. Teaming up with rugged landscape architect Alfonse DiFranco, Cali uses her high-tech scanning equipment to peel back the layers of paint and provenance.+3
What she finds is a forgery scheme sixty years in the making and a trail of stolen history that someone is willing to kill to keep buried. From the flash floods of Papago Park to a high-speed chase through the industrial grid, Cali must race to save the sacred artifacts before they-and the evidence of the murder-are incinerated.+2
Can Cali reveal the true provenance before she becomes a permanent part of the desert landscape?
