Praise for when silence screams
James Wade, Spur Award-Winning author of All Things Left Wild and River, Sing Out
"Langley's third installment of his Arthur Nakai Mysteries is the most thrilling yet. The characters are fully formed, and the danger is real and urgent. Langley has an unmatched feel for his New Mexico setting, both the landscape and the culture. A master of dialogue, Langley lets the banter flow freely and allows the mystery to drive the story from the opening pages to its heart-pounding conclusion. There's not a better detective writer in the American West."

With Death Waits in the Dark, Mark Edward Langley offers readers an utterly compelling portrait of human beings struggling to deal with the aftermath of great trauma. Langley writes about the great Southwest with a loving eye for detail that fans of Tony and Anne Hillerman will readily embrace. I was utterly captured by this fine second novel in the Arthur Nakai series. Along with those who are already fans, I can only hope that there will be many more stories to come. I recommend this book with a full heart.

Death Waits in the Dark tells a gritty story of betrayal, deceit, and danger through the eyes of Navajo protagonist Arthur Nakai. The tightly written noir plot moves from scene to scene like a thriller, building suspense in every page.

In Death Waits in the Dark, Mark Edward Langley has developed a well-thought-out plot regarding the oil and gas industry, especially on tribal lands, and the dangers of PTSD in America's returning warriors. Thought-provoking, this is a page-turner sure to rouse the reader's emotions.

The second title in author Mark Edward Langley's 'Arthur Nakai Mystery' series, "Death Waits in the Dark" is a carefully crafted police procedural style mystery that provides the reader with an entertainingly original and inherently riveting read from cover to cover. While very highly and unreservedly recommended for community library Contemporary Mystery/Suspense collections, it should be noted for the personal reading lists of all dedicated mystery buffs.

Langley’s somber sequel to 2018’s The Path of the Dead finds former Marine Arthur Nakai at a Farmington, N.Mex., funeral home attending a service for one of his Marine buddies from Afghanistan, who recently shot himself, yet another victim of PTSD. The action builds to a bittersweet ending. Descriptions of the starkly beautiful New Mexico landscape contrast with the poignant picture of the state’s poor and alcohol-stricken native peoples. Tony Hillerman fans may want to check this one out.

"A chase from New Mexico to Montana and the Canadian border is a race against time, the ticking clock already upping tense action. Along the way, Arthur relies on his friends and his wolf-dog and the end will leave you breathless. The book sustains a high level of page-turning suspense. Here is a villain with no redeeming qualities pitted against a determined hero!"

FAN PHOTOS
Bronson Pinchot to narrate the Arthur Nakai Series!
I am very pleased to announce that the Audiobook is now moving forward! I was given four people to chose from, all with samples of them reading passages from Path of the Dead, and I have made my choice. The actor is now aware and will begin recording the book. I am proud and extremely pleased to say the Bronson Pinchot will be the narrator for the first Arthur Nakai novel, Path of the Dead! You may all know him from TV's Perfect Strangers or of the feature film First Wives Club, but he has also worked extensively as an audiobook narrator for Blackstone Publishing, with over 100 recordings to his credit. AudioFile magazine even recognized him as the Best Voice in Fiction & Classics for his 2010 renderings. We are all pleased to confirm that he will be bringing Arthur Nakai, and the other rich characters that inhabit his world, to life.
