This supernatural murder mystery set in Moab, Utah during the 1930's is a cracking good yarn. The second in The Cunning Man series, about a humble but magically adept Mormon beet farmer and his brasher son, whose scientific world view is being enlarged by the experiences with the supernatural. Lots of great 1930s flavor, strongly developed characters, inventive supernatural ideas, and thrilling adventure. Butler and Richiey are also excellent wordsmiths.
