"This riveting series debut showcases Graham's love of nature and
archeology, simultaneously interjecting some serious excitement.
Graham is to be commended for weaving together several cultures
into one story. Recommend to readers who enjoy Tony Hillerman,
Nevada Barr, and C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series."

""Canyon Sacrifice" is a terrific debut novel by National Outdoor
Book Award winner Scott Graham. Along with archaeologist Chuck
Bender, we experience the evocative wonder and amoral beauty of the
Grand Canyon while at the same time learning the inside--and often
frustrating--workings of a contemporary national park. The
omnipresence of the ancient Anasazi civilization enriches the
atmosphere."
--C.J. BOX, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Stone Cold" and
"Breaking Point"
"The real star of this engrossing mystery novel is the Grand Canyon
itself. Scott Graham clearly knows the territory. In addition to
some fine plot twists guaranteed to keep you guessing to the end,
Graham delivers a glorious portrait of one of the most compelling
landscapes on earth, a place that can kill just as easily as it
thrills. This is a topnotch read."

"Tamarack County"

it all and then some."

readable story."

its depths, Graham's thriller sucks you into the mysteries of the
canyon and the story of an unsuspecting family whose lives will
never be the same."
