Southwest mystery veterans David and Aimee Thurlo discuss and sign their two new books,Bad Samaritan (Minotaur, $24.99)- the newest in the Sister Agatha series, and The Never-Ending Snake (Forge, $24.99), Ella Clah's newest adventure. 

Bad Samaritan's Sister Agatha of the Our Lady of Hope monastery in Bernalillo, New Mexico has become renowned-and occasionally infamous- for her crime solving skills. Now she must bring her skills to bear on her most important case yet-her friend and ally Sheriff Tom Green is a suspect in the brutal murder of his rival in the upcoming election. 

When Never-ending Snake begins, Ella is returning from a trip to Washington, DC, where she has been presented with a lucrative offer of employment with a private security firm. The catch? She would have to leave the Navajo Reservation. And while Ella has lived off the Rez before, it would be a life-altering experience for her daughter, Dawn.
