A ruthless pothunter--in search of valuable artifacts--ravages an ancient-Indian burial site in the beautiful LaSal Mountains area of southeastern Utah. That same day, he's found brutally murdered. Â
                          Â
Deputy Sheriff Manny Rivera suspects the killing is related to recent demonstrations and acts of lawlessness fomented by the radicalized Heritage Protection Society, an organization dedicated to the protection of ancient-Indian burial sites. But a subsequent sequence of deadly crimes suggests a more sinister motive, one which also threatens the deputy's life.

The story is set in the majestic red rock canyon country that surrounds Moab, Utah.
