Lyons author Sandi Ault has her fingerprints all over
Wild Indigo, an auspicious debut mystery novel inspired by Ault's love of the northern New Mexico landscape and its tangled Indian/Hispanic/Anglo cultures. Open the book and you'll soon understand that there's a good measure of Ault's own personality in the protagonist Jamaica Wild — who, like Ault, has a wolf companion and fast friends among the members of a pueblo community.
But the compelling mixture of Ault's real-life passions form only a starting point for the adventure that ensues; the beautifully researched page-turner turns downright spooky as the plot thickens into a posole of ancient traditions and bruja magic. This isn't Hillerman country, not one bit: Ault has a sure franchise in Wild, whose second New Mexico exploit is already on the way, and the series is purely her own.
Ault will sign copies of Wild Indigo today at 5 p.m. at Murder by the Book, 1574 Pearl Street; call 303-871-9401 for details.
Sun., June 24, 3 p.m.
