"The past is another country. They do things differently there." Deadfall tracks Charlie Yazzie, Thomas Begay, and Harley Ponyboy into unfamiliar territory. When a family member unexpectedly dies, a debilitating sense of loss overcomes our friends on the reservation. The ties that have bound them begin to unravel. What witch's evil is at work? Is the bond forever broken? Or is there a connection to the ancient past that might bring this malevolent aura to an end? This sequel to the Amazon bestseller Wolves of Winter continues the story of the Anasazi Swallow Clan's effort to escape their destiny on the Colorado Plateau. Thomas Begay's son Caleb comes under the mystical spell of the ancient people, seeming to channel their desperate migration to a new home. Family members look on and fear for his sanity. Meanwhile, Harley Ponyboy's new wife Celia is targeted by a forgotten ex-husband who has murdered once and might again. Thomas and Harley set out to corral the killer but are in for a surprise that no one saw coming. Such is the continuing saga of life on the Dinétah.
R. Allen Chappell, the author of thirteen novels and a collection of short stories, grew up with the Navajo, went to school with and later worked alongside-forging enduring friendships along the way. "Those friendships," the author recalls, "became the inspiration for this series." As in life, the people age and change as they grow older, and reservation culture itself evolves. Chappell notes, "My writing focuses on the people of the Four Corners region past and present. I tend not to romanticize my characters, preferring instead to paint them as I find them. They have much the same qualities, good and bad, as the rest of us." At home in Western Colorado, Chappell continues to pursue a lifelong interest in the prehistory of the Four Corners region and its people. Though his books are works of fiction, a concerted effort is made to maintain the accuracy of the culture and people as he has come to know them.
