“An enjoyably twisty mystery with appealing characters and a vivid setting.” - Kirkus Reviews
The first book in the Naomi Manymules mystery series
In Coyote Alibi, the first Naomi Manymules mystery, Naomi gets a new job as a paralegal for Grant Carson. Then a death on the lake at the edge of the Navajo Nation makes her law work very personal.
The dead man’s wife can offer only a coyote — and a traditional taboo — as her alibi. The police aren't inclined to look much further for a suspect, so that leaves Naomi and her new boss, attorney Grant Carson, to do the looking.
All they have to do is navigate the steady stream of likely culprits who show up in the office—surly teenagers, prominent locals, a good-looking loser worried about his dog, a mobster or two—and become targets themselves.
