![]() ![]() ![]() The story involves so many characters and such a plethora of twists and turns that readers may find it difficult to keep track unless they pay close attention - and maybe even take notes along the way. "Hearts of the Missing," Carol Potenza's debut novel, is a yarn wrapped in Pueblo Indian mythology, forensic evidence, ancient rituals, DNA tests, evil spirits, greed and violence. When Nicky suspects that an apparent suicide could be murder - and might be linked to a series of violent deaths and missing persons - her investigation is obstructed by her bosses and the elders who run the reservation. And her long-ago affair with an influential married man, is a constant source of trouble. The reservation's police chief, who thinks a woman's place doesn't include police work, undermines her at every turn. But she also has some things going against her. ![]()
