Someone, or something, is killing the Native artists and art collectors of Santa Fe. The police are baffled by a series of brutal murders in the dead of night: bloody ritual killings with all the trappings of some of the mythic monsters of the Apache origin stories, all signed with the same bloody signature: the Coyote. But where the police fail, Johnny may succeed. Johnny Geronimo is a hard-bitten, hard-boiled private investigator right out of the pages of Chandler or Cain but with a key advantage: as an Apache, Johnny can go places the police can't, and he can talk to the people the police won't. As the owner of Eagle Eye Investigations, Johhny moves effortlessly among both the high society of Santa Fe and the outlaw underworld. With his assistants, Willy and Jessie, as well as a succession of lady friends, Johnny sets out on the trail of the Coyote. The closer he gets, the more it becomes apparent that the hunter is also the hunted. Johnny Geronimo: Art of Darkness incorporates themes from Apache and other Native traditions to tell the story of this classic antihero of Native noir and of the demonic Coyote, who may turn out to be more than anyone can imagine.
