A romp of a mystery that takes place in 1782, in and around Santa Fe in the ancient Kingdom of New Mexico. Gangs of slavers scour the land, priests deal in captives and guns, and there's a traitor deep within. Nando, inadvertent sleuth, gets drafted into Governor Anza's spy network--young, uncertain, half Spanish gentry and half Ute slave, he is given the task of setting all to rights. Based on good historical bones, The King's Lizard is a page-turner that plunges you into the excitement of an earlier era. Here's a Time Machine you can hold in your hand.

Dead Lizard's Dance is a historical mystery set in colonial New Mexico in 1782. This novel is the eagerly awaited sequel to the award winning mystery, The King's Lizard. A man is dead, hung cruelly by his elbows, spinning Santa Fe into chaos at the very moment the King's inquisitors arrive. Despite Governor Anza's every effort, the deaths continue, so horrible they are deemed to be the work of witches. Pamela Christie's inadvertent sleuth, Nando, is ordered to find the killers, this time in Santa Fe's underworld of displaced women: the misfits, the stolen, the abandoned. But nothing is as it seems, and Nando, cannot be sure if the ladies he loves are in fact the very women he seeks for murder. 
Constructed on sound historical bones, Dead Lizard's Dance transports the reader into a compelling time--early Santa Fe at its fiercest and best.
