Still struggling with the demons of his past, he is plunged into the nightmare rampage of a mysterious illness that is killing the residents of the pueblo, including his own grandmother.

Praise for The Pumpkin Seed Massacre: "… a gripping novel." -Tony Hillerman "This is a wonderful book with loveable heroes." -Library Journal "… Ben Pecos-raised far from New Mexico's Tewa Pueblo-could become as lasting a fictional presence as Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee." - Chicago Tribune "Solid characters, fascinating atmosphere, and authentic setting-The Pumpkin Seed Massacre is a book you will enjoy. Ben Pecos is a star in the detective firmament. I predict a big future for Susan Slater." - Barbara D'Amato "Slater's first novel holds the reader's interest with its brisk pace, well-rendered New Mexico landscape and challenging plot … [T]his promising first novel heralds a series to watch." -Booklist
