"A thriller with lots of southwestern atmosphere and a puzzler of a plot that's calculated to keep a reader guessing through the last chapter." -Thomas Perry, New York Times bestselling author Chicago insurance investigator Dan Mahoney is sent to the prosperous Double Horseshoe Ranch in southern New Mexico to investigate the deaths of several prized-and well-insured-cattle.

"Susan Slater can flat-out write." -Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel It's Christmas in St. Augustine, where Dan and Elaine Mahoney are taking an extended honeymoon. But not all is sunny in Florida when Dan's company sends him to investigate the theft of 1.2 million dollars' worth of religious relics from the famed Basilica. Immediately, he knows it won't be easy to track down the missing items-far too many people had access to the safe where they were stored when not on display for the parishioners. And although the church and rectory were filled with people, when Dan questions them, it seems no one saw a thing. Adding another wrinkle to their newlywed life is the fact that Dan's mother has moved to a small town up the road. Dragon's Bend is known for the fact that everyone who lives there is involved in the spiritual realm-from seers to gurus. Most are sincere practitioners in their beliefs, but some … not so much. Is Maggie Mahoney's new job giving tarot readings at the Center for Spiritual Learning a legit way for her to help those who want to find deeper meaning in their lives? Or is she becoming caught up in something far darker? A visit from Elaine's son Jason brings the family together for a fun Mahoney Christmas, but not before there's a murder in Dragon's Bend. The clues finally come together and the scope of the crimes goes far beyond anything Dan could have imagined.
