Rob Thy Neighbor by David Thurlo is the 3rd book in the Charlie Henry Mystery series (Available August 16, 2016). “Bone-cracking” action is queued in David Thurlo’s Rob Thy Neighbor—the latest Charlie Henry mystery—though perhaps not quite presented in the way I was expecting.

While it is the sixteenth novel in the mystery series featuring Navajo Police Special Investigator Ella Clah, it was my first book in the series. I am an avid reader of Native…
A construction crew found the first body. The cops found three more, in a cluster that lay on both sides of the border of the Navajo Reservation.
