About this ebook

From an Eisner Award–winning author, a supernatural thriller about a man who confronts a ghost while searching for artifacts of a Native American tribe.
 
Vaughan Beadles, Professor of Anthropology at Creighton University, is at the top of his game. Not only does he have a beautiful wife and baby son, Beadles has just taken possession of the largest uncatalogued post-Anasazi Indian collection in the world. Creighton has long maintained the existence of the Azuma, a previously unknown and extremely belligerent southwest Amerindian tribe. When a scorpion crawls out of a bowl and stings Beadles’ student, his world turns upside down. The university charges Beadles with theft and the police charge him with homicide. He loses his job, his wife, and his future. Beadles’ only chance at redemption is to prove the Azuma existed, setting him on a path that will inexorably lead to a terrifying confrontation in the Arizona desert with a creature beyond belief.
