PRAISE FOR SPIRIT WALK

“A thrilling and elegantly wrought debut about the far-reaching effects of our decisions, and our irrepressible desire to undo the worst of them. Treiber is a writer of enormous talents, and Spirit Walk will leave you breathless until the final page.”

—JONATHAN EVISON, author of The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving and West of Here

“At once gritty and lyrical, Spirit Walk is a haunting tale of the modern American West. Out of the explosive violence, hard living, and stark beauty of the Arizona borderlands, Jay Treiber has woven a gripping story of remembrance and redemption, beautifully painting the place and giving voice to its people. I can’t stop thinking about it.”

—JENNIFER CARRELL, author of Haunt Me Still and Interred with Their Bones

“There’s a wonderful sense of authenticity and place here, as well as a credible and engaging set of characters. It’s a book that on one level is a strong page-turner, with a plot that takes us into a trip of discovery as the best of mysteries do, but also explores in good Faulknerian fashion the burden of guilt and pain that discovery of the truths about the past brings with it. Add to that just a taste of Tony Hillerman’s recognition of the other kinds of mystery that always hang over the Southwest’s past (and present), and Jay Treiber has given us a rich, well written, multi-layered book to satisfy wide reading appetites.”

—ROBERT HOUSTON, author of Bisbee 17

“The borderland setting of Spirit Walk only appears empty. This landscape is inhabited by commingled cultures, crisscrossed jurisdictions, and colliding values—where a rancher wouldn’t leave a bottle cap, traffickers litter bodies. Depicting an episode of violence as confounding in memory as the day it erupted, Jay Treiber shows the corrosive costs of the drug trade—and of burying the past. In the vein of Philip Caputo’s Crossers.”

—CHARLIE QUIMBY, author of Monument Road
