During a kachina ceremony at the Tano Pueblo, the antics of a dancing "koshare" fill the air with tension.

But to decipher it, the two Navajo policemen may have to delve into closely guarded tribal secrets--on a sinister trail of blood that links a runaway, a holy artifact, corrupt Indian traders, and a pair of dead bodies.
