Wild Penance (Jamaica Wild Mysteries)
by Sandi Ault
Jamaica Wild works for the New Mexico Bureau of Land Management in Taos. She is a range rider in the mountains above Taos. While out running one morning, she sees a cross with a man attached being dropped from a bridge into the Rio Grande. Jamaica is familiar with the local Penitentes, an old tradition in the Catholic Church. The Penitentes believe in scourging themselves, carrying crosses and other acts of penitence, especially around Easter. Jamaica has sketched some of their decaying meeting places up in the mountains. Her sketch book is stolen and someone seems to be trying to kill her. Jamaica is warned by an old crone that she is in danger but that she has an angel guarding her. Will her guardian angel be able to prevent her death? Jamaica even gets a love interest in this her fourth adventure. For Tony Hillerman fans.
