“Set against the backdrop of the deserts and hills of the Navajo reservation, Dave Knops’ book, Poisoned by God’s Flesh is a “spiritual” thriller that keeps you turning the page. Cochiti Police Officer Peter Romero returns in this second book to drug stings, brutal murders and kidnappings. Romero is a tough, believable character and the author has done his homework researching Native American rituals and magical shaman practices. Well-written and fast-paced, this novel has it all.”

“Knop takes the familiar landscape of the American Southwest and creates a unique place, inhabited by shamans, mythical animals and spirits, really setting this book apart from the usual fare. He excels at action scenes — gunfights, helo fights, fist fights. As a dedicated Tony Hillerman fan, I can tell you this book goes deeper and darker into the violence of the modern drug trade. And Officer Peter Romero is on his own again, fighting betrayal and murder to save his wife. Great writing!”
