signs point to a car crash, but his ghost tells her otherwise: He
was murdered. Who killed him and how did he die? With the help of
her family, her best friend Jay, and the memory great, great,
great, great, great, great grandmother, Elatsoe, must track down
the killer and unravel the mystery of this creepy town and it's
dark past. But will the nefarious townsfolk and a mysterious Doctor
stop her before she gets started? The breathtaking debut novel from
Darcie Little Badger features an asexual, Apache teen protagonist
-- and combines mystery, horror, noir, ancestral knowledge,
haunting illustrations, and fantasy elements, in one of the
most-talked-about books in years.
