Arthur Nakai, now armed with his newly minted Private Investigator license, has visitors on his doorstep at White Mesa. Melanie Manygoats and her young son arrive on a cold winter’s day seeking his help locating her missing daughter, whom she fears has become one of the stolen. Arthur accepts and soon finds himself wading through the world of teenage prostitution where he discovers April has already been sold to a man known to everyone in the trade as The Cuban. Running underage girls is his business, and the revolving door of the flesh trade is always rotating, Meanwhile, a 15-year-old girl goes missing, her bicycle found hidden among scrub brush under a bridge over an empty desert wash. Are the cases related or are they simply part of a bigger, more horrifying picture plaguing Arthur's beloved Dinétah?

Mark Edward Langley was born in Richmond, VA on July 24th, 1960. When he was 9, he moved to a south suburb of Chicago, where he lived until 18 and his father was transferred to Houston, TX. Langley took a job with B. Dalton Booksellers and begun his love for reading.  

Langley has always felt a kinship with the American Southwest.  When he was young, his parents took him on vacation out west where his heart and soul were touched by the beauty of the landscape and the wonder of its people. In his thirties, he realized he had found his true home.  Researching his debut novel, Path of the Dead, he drove from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Glacier National Park, Montana, traveling through the beautiful and iconic scenery that was to become the book's majestic backdrop.

Upon revisiting New Mexico, doing research for his second novel, Death Waits in the Dark, he had the wonderful opportunity to meet with some of the Navajo people and have an open and respectful conversation.  Langley is an award-winning author of the Arthur Nakai Mystery Series, with Death Waits in the dark winning both as a finalist in the American Book Fest Awards 2020 and winning the coveted Feathered Quill Award for Best Mystery of 2021. 

He is currently writing his fourth novel of the series, Broken Glass, due out August 2022. Langley and his wife, Barbara, divide their time between their home in Indiana and New Mexico.
