The release date for Blood Relay is fast approaching! February 24 at all bookstores. Hereβs the mood setting playlist.
"The authorβs depiction of Native life is full of distinctive personalities who will hold readersβ attention, and her visceral fight scenes have a grittier, more lived-in edge than those in the average cop novel. The result is a satisfying, deeply felt, and uncomfortably relevant crime story."
BLOOD RELAY a novel. DEVON MIHESUAH An outline of the back of a woman appears between two cliff faces. At the bottom of the book, we see horses and riders racing in a Native horse relay

But when Perry and Sophia are called to investigate the disappearance of Dels Billy, a beloved womenβs Indian Horse Relay rider, they quickly realize that itβs not as cut-and-dry as anything theyβve faced before.
