So I may or may not have just sent what I now realize was a way TMI gushing thank you note to the author. In my defense, @dmihesuah.bsky.social ‘s new novel Blood Relay is freaking amazing. Read it! #booksky #novels #mystery

The release date for Blood Relay is fast approaching! February 24 at all bookstores. Here’s the mood setting playlist.
"The author’s depiction of Native life is full of distinctive personalities who will hold readers’ attention, and her visceral fight scenes have a grittier, more lived-in edge than those in the average cop novel. The result is a satisfying, deeply felt, and uncomfortably relevant crime story."
BLOOD RELAY a novel. DEVON MIHESUAH An outline of the back of a woman appears between two cliff faces. At the bottom of the book, we see horses and riders racing in a Native horse relay
ABOUT BLOOD RELAY Choctaw Detective Perry Antelope has been with her partner, Sophia Burns, for only six months. Perry is a seasoned investigator while the ex-Olympian shot putter Sophia is a former street-smart police officer. Together, they are an intrepid pair with an established record of success. But when Perry and Sophia are called to investigate the disappearance of Dels Billy, a beloved women’s Indian Horse Relay rider, they quickly realize that it’s not as cut-and-dry as anything they’ve faced before.
