Opis

On a summer's day in 2009 Neyra Alarcon de Alba walks home with some friends in her Mexican town of Magdalena de Kino. But Neyra Alarcon de Alba never makes it home. Neyra Alarcon will not be seen alive again. Seven years later, on October 11, 2016, the body of a young woman, mutilated, raped, unidentifiable, is found in a Brooklyn New York warehouse. She is not the first victim. She will not be the last. For former FBI agent Ryker Chase, her death, like the death of a Mexican girl seven years earlier, will push him to the limits of his understanding, and his fear. Chase has inherited abilities that he never wanted, never sought: the talents of a Shadow Wolf ICE agent stretching well beyond the training of these Native American trackers who use traditional tracking techniques for Federal Law Enforcement agencies working in the West. But he has also inherited the ability to 'see' into shadows, and into that which cannot be seen, the arts of the dream catcher, the shadow arts of one who becomes, who tracks not only with one's head, but with one's heart. While Chase tries to hide from such knowledge and vision, he cannot hide forever. Not when there are 'Others' whose existence is beyond the everyday, shadow figures such as the 'Third Man', who toys with one such as Chase, who haunts him and taunts him, who may indeed be his own twin 'other'. Chase's world is a one in which the duality of good and evil collide, where one man is but a shadow of another, a world of Native American duality in which the dark cannot exist without light, and where a Shadow Wolf may indeed be once, and forever, shadow. In such a world some are sacrificed, and for one such as Chase, a glance in a mirror reveals the twin self looking over a shoulder, waiting.... there. Working in similar milieus to such films as 'Silence of the Lambs', 'The Usual Suspects', 'The Bone Collector' against a Cormac McCarthy like landscape, 'A Murmuration of Starlings' is the first novel of the 'The Shadow Wolf Chronicles', adapted from the television series developed by Greg Dinner in association with Content Film and Television in Los Angeles and London.
