Black Thunder: An Ella Clah Novel (Ella Clah, 16)

“The book mixes straightforward police procedural with Tony Hillerman–style exploration of the culture of the Navajo. Ella Clah continues to be a compelling character and the story here, which involves a possible serial killer (or maybe something a lot less complicated), should keep readers on their toes until the final pages.” ― Booklist on Black Thunder “Clah is always good company, on and off the reservation.” ― The New York Times Book Review on Earthway “An unusually tense mystery.” ― Kirkus Reviews on Earthway “Ella is compelling as a highly skilled officer of the law dealing with modern vs. traditionalist issues on the reservation.” ― RT Book Reviews on Earthway Aimée Thurlo is co-author of the Ella Clah series, the Lee Nez series of Navajo vampire mysteries, and the Sister Agatha novels.
