Wheeler\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaggie Tall Bear Sloan, half Irish, half Yurok, and one-hundred percent gutsy, is a retired criminologist who shapeshifts into the Pukkekwerek, the Yurok nation's monster-killing raven. After she brings down a cannibalistic child murderer possessed by a Manitou, Maggie, and her lover, Jake Lubbock, a former sheriff, move from the mountains in Northern California to a desert town in southern California. Maggie and Jake settle into their new community; with one goal, an enjoyable retirement. She buys a pub, Jake writes a book, they both join the town's law enforcement reserves, spending Sundays with family. All is well for Maggie and Jake until the local sheriff shows them photos of a dentist, his wife, and teenage son, roasted over separate fires on spits, their flesh cannibalized. The police dub the murderer, \"The Aunt Lorrie's Salt Killer,\" because the murderer's calling card is a container of the salt balanced on the victims' corpses. Maggie suspects The Salt Killer may be The Chenoo, an ice-demon from Passamaquoddy and Micmac lore.The sheriff calls on Maggie and Jake to lead a task force to investigate, and that's when things get strange. To complicate things, Sally, a ghost, and Maggie's closest friend, materializes to warn Maggie of an impending and unavoidable tragedy: someone close to Maggie will die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 266\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 02, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53742583120179,"sku":"9781774000083","price":28.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/EaaQGR0XoK9781774000083_c1ff69cd-7b4a-4feb-b265-44e8642222be.webp?v=1785226125","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-desert-raven-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
