 Novel 2 of the Steven Hawk/Inola Walela thriller series:

Ice on Fire

 

Newly appointed sheriff Steven Hawk and his team of deputies provide security for Native-American pop music sensation Katina Salvo who has been receiving death threats.

Adding to her ill-fated concert appearance, and unbeknownst to Katina, her manager has kept from her the fact that her father has just been released from prison for killing her mother 22 years earlier.

Is the would-be assailant Katina's father , or a mysterious man from her childhood while growing upon the Taos Pueblo Reservation after her mother's death?

Hawk and Katina’s seven-day journey,  propels them back to the Taos Pueblo where in a quest for a future, Katina faces her haunting past.

The thriller transports readers along a path few suspense fans have experienced before.  From an exciting concert performance, psychological twists and turns of its characters, to the exotic locations of the majestic Smoky Mountains, Santa Barbara, California, the intriguing undercurrents of the New Mexico reservation, and in the end: retribution, so essential in crafting a lasting thriller.

In an effort to present authentic elements regarding the Taos Pueblo and its People, Deborah enlisted the kind assistance of Floyd “Mountain Walking Cane” Gomez.  Floyd’s credits include providing Native American details to the award-winning, off-Broadway production of “Knowing Bliss.”  Also, a four-time Grammy nominated former record executive with PolyGram, MCA and Columbia Records has been instrumental with providing necessary details regarding the performer/manager relationship.

With the current popularity of thrillers and pop-culture events, this novel is sure to intrigue the domestic market.  And because much of Europe is captivated by Native American elements, foreign markets are certain to be interested as well.
