"-THE UTAH REVIEW"A thrilling and elegantly wrought debut about the farreaching effects of our decisions, and our irrepressible desire to undo the worst of them. Treiber is a writer of enormous talents, andSpirit Walk will leave you breathless until the final page."-JONATHAN EVISON, author ofThe Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving"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 ofHaunt Me Still andInterred with Their Bones"The borderland setting ofSpirit 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'sCrossers."-CHARLIE QUIMBY, author ofMonument Road"There's a wonderful sense of authenticity and place here... Jay Treiber has given us a rich, wellwritten, multilayered book to satisfy wide reading appetites."-ROBERT HOUSTON, author ofBisbee 17 " | Spirit Walk by Jay Treiber, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
