Booklist calls the Ben Pecos mysteries, from award-winning author Susan Slater, "A series to watch."
Psychologist Ben Pecos takes a transfer to Florida in his job with the Indian Health Service. His first assignment in St. Augustine puts him right in the middle of a terrifying case where a student has brought a gun to school and threatened his teacher. Ben works with both the troubled eight-year-old and the traumatized teacher, Maureen Beltzer. When Mo is offered a new job with the botanical garden at the prestigious Whitney Labs, she jumps at the chance to get out of teaching, little knowing that cataloging and photographing rare orchids may actually involve more danger than her pint-sized adversary ever dreamed of inflicting.
Praise for the Ben Pecos mystery series:
"This is a wonderful book with loveable heroes." - Library Journal, (on The Pumpkin Seed Massacre)
"Susan Slater's Thunderbird is a witty, absorbing tale." --Publishers Weekly
"Slater effectively combines an appealing mix of new and existing characters ... dry humor; crackling suspense; and a surprise ending." --Booklist
"Take a great plot idea and Susan Slater's skill with language, combine them with her understanding of the religion and culture of a proud and ancient people, and you have a gripping novel. The Pumpkin Seed Massacre is her first novel. We mystery lovers hope it's the first of many." - Tony Hillerman
"A solid, suspenseful narrative and colorful glimpses of Native American life strongly recommend this ..." - Library Journal (on Thunderbird)
"... Ben Pecos--raised far from New Mexico's Tewa Pueblo--could become as lasting a fictional presence as Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee." - Chicago Tribune
