It was a fascinating anthropological discovery--a human skull found inside a clay Anasazi pot more than eight hundred years old. But as soon as Tally Whyte saw the forensic reconstruction of the face, she went from fascinated to horrified. The face belonged to an art dealer Tally knew well. How could a contemporary skull find its way into a centuries-old clay pot? And more importantly, how did the woman die? the search for answer will lead Tally from Boston to Martha's Vineyard to New Mexico, where she will learn of the Blood Fetish, a priceless artifact as old as the Anasazi themselves--with secrets worth killing for.
