"With WILD MYSTIC, Sandi Ault is back with a rousing, captivating tale well worth the wait."-Michael McGarrity, New York Times bestselling author
Welcome to the WILD MYSTERY Series and its sleuth, Jamaica Wild, a Bureau of Land Management Agent who is part Jack Reacher and part Lara Croft. In the thriller WILD MYSTIC, Jamaica is tapped to lead a top-secret effort to find the US Poet Laureate, who vanishes in remote northern New Mexico days before she is to perform at the presidential inauguration. Haunted by dreams and hunted by deadly adversaries, Jamaica tracks the poet through hostile mountain villages, a troubled Trappist monastery, a circle of Puebloan peyote dreamers, and into the mysterious past, where shocking headlines exposed an enigma that remains shrouded today. With an action-packed plot as rich in mysticism as a Dan Brown novel and a setting just east of Hillerman country among the Native Puebloan and ancient Hispanic cultures of remote northern New Mexico, WILD MYSTIC is a cinematic outdoor adventure thriller that will satisfy fans across many genres.
Sandi Ault is a storyteller of the first order and the creator of the WILD Mystery Series that earned a Mary Higgins Clark Award for series debut WILD INDIGO; numerous starred reviews in PW, Library Journal, and Kirkus; the Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Association Award, the Willa Award for Best Literary Fiction, and accolades from the New York Times, the Washington Post, Tony Hillerman, Anne Hillerman, CJ Box, Jayne Anne Krentz, Michael McGarrity, Margaret Coel, and many others.
If you are looking for an exciting new series to get lost in, just enter Jamaica's world-where her closest companion is a young wolf she rescued; where a trail of clues leads to Tanoah Pueblo, but tribal taboos prevent pursuit; and where an old Hispanic bruja who lives alone in the hills provides cures, cryptic warnings, and ultimately a stunning show of power.
