A biological anthropologist at a university studying indigenous genetics is bludgeoned to death in his laboratory. The university chancellor’s son, an Athabaskan native and archeology student, is charged with murder. He’d led a violent protest against the genomic studies of the first Americans. In the fourth novel in the Przewalski series, PI Harry Przewalski uncovers webs of deceit, blackmail, unethical research, personal vendettas, and a coverup of an archeological bombshell. A mysterious figure is gunning for him. A missing flint spear point threatens to upend careers and what we thought we knew about the first Americans. Was the anthropologist killed over an explosive theory that the Americas were peopled at least twice from different continents more than 13,000 years ago? Przewalski exposes the murderous stakes in this race for scientific discovery and fame. He is also immersed in the intense conflicts between genetics, archeology, and the Native Americans’ own origin stories. They reveal anthropology’s long entanglement with race and racial theory, and the unspeakable treatment of indigenous peoples. In the end, he uncovers a diabolical plot, one in which fate plays a murderous game––and justice, as a human invention, makes mistakes.
