Blood Retribution: A Lee Nez Novel - Hardcover

The Thurlos are the authors of the critically acclaimed Ella Clah novels, most recently Tracking Bear and Wind Spirit, of a stand-alone novel featuring Ella's mother Rose, Plant Them Deep, of the Sister Agatha mysteries, and of The Spirit Line, a book for young adults.
The Thurlos live in Corrales, New Mexico.

Half-vampire Lee Nez's second outing (after Second Sunrise, 2002) has him facing enemies old and new. Lee and FBI agent Diane Lopez have just survived a showdown with a dangerous group of "skinwalkers" (shape-shifters who can transform into animal form) when they are called away to a jewelry-smuggling case that led to the deaths of two undercover officers. When Lee and Diane learn that the smugglers are skinwalkers, they realize it will be necessary to kill them rather than simply bring down their illegal operation. Lee has more problems than he realizes: Elka, the sister of the vampire who sired him, is in town, looking to exact revenge on Lee for her brother's death. She has hired a young vampire assassin to finish Lee off while she plots another dastardly killing. The second entry in the Lee Nez series is filled with plenty of excitement and intrigue, with enough vampire lore to keep fantasy fans happy and enough thrills to keep mystery readers turning the pages.
