Learn moreLucretia (Cree) Black is a parapsychologist whose investigative methods include in-depth historical research and psychological analysis. When she’s asked by her former mentor, renowned neuropsychiatrist Mason Ambrose, if she would examine the case of a fifteen-year-old boy suffering from bizarre and frightening symptoms, Cree refuses to get involved. Physically and emotionally exhausted, she’s planning to take some time off. But Ambrose is persistent, so Cree reluctantly finds herself heading for a private boarding school on a Native American reservation in New Mexico.
Nothing in Cree’s background as a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist or her experience as a paranormal investigator has prepared her for Tommy Keeday’s case. A talented young Navajo, Tommy has recently been enduring violent, agonizing seizures that his family believes are signs of possession by a chindi, a hostile spirit. As Cree struggles to find answers, she becomes increasingly aware that Tommy and the people who surround him have some deep and disturbing secrets.
The follow-up to City of Masks, a Booksense 76 pick, this second novel in the Cree Black series is a thrillingly plausible supernatural mystery, a passionate love story, and a thoughtful exploration of Navajo culture and identity in modern America.

Reviews
“[The novel’s] fascinating concept and the performance of Earphones Award-winning narrator Anna Fields pull the reader along with growing interest and dread. This title is easily one of the better mysteries of recent years, and listeners will be completely satisfied.”
“Daniel Hecht scores again in a series that is absorbing, lyrical, and altogether frightening. His exploration of the supernatural, the Navajo culture, and the beauty of the New Mexican desert all come together in a story that is as enthralling as it is evocative.”
“The setting is perfect, the story is creepy and riveting, and the reading is excellent….The vast array of characters…is portrayed masterfully by reader Fields, who can do any accent, any gender, any time.”
“Beautifully written, Land of Echoes is a mystery in many senses of the word. It is also a story about love, its heartbreaking consequences, and ultimate triumphs.”
