Never-Ending-Snake - (Ella Clah) by Aimee Thurlo & David Thurlo (Paperback)

About the Book

In this fifteenth Ella Clah mystery, Navajo Police Special Investigator Ella Clah investigates the murder of a Navajo war hero who is working on an alternative fuel project that might enrich the entire tribe, but will drive some clans off their ancestral grazing lands. She also must decide whether to take a lucrative job with an international private security firm based in Washington, DC, or continue to raise her now teenage daughter on the Navajo Reservation.

Book Synopsis

When Never-ending-snake begins, Navajo Police Special Investigator Ella Clah is returning from Washington, DC, where she was offered a lucrative job with a private security firm. Taking the job would mean uprooting her daughter, but it might give the young teen opportunities she'd never see on the Reservation.

As Ella and her companions deplane, gunfire sends them diving for cover. When the shooting stops, a Navajo war hero has been mortally wounded--but was alternative fuel lobbyist Nelson Lonewolf the intended victim? Or was the gunman aiming for powerful tribal attorney Kevin Tolino? Or for Ella herself?

Ella struggles to find the killers while helping the tribe find a way to move forward with the alternative-fuel project and protecting her family--and Kevin, her daughter's father.

Never-ending-snake, a tense police procedural, is part of the Ella Clah mystery series.
