Rare Earth by Cecil Dawkins

In the rugged, enchanted landscape of northern New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Gin Prettifield confronts a mystery that defies the laws of nature. While navigating the wilderness she knows so well, Gin stumbles upon a terrifying scene: an enraged bear and the mangled body of a dying man. But when she returns with a forest ranger to secure the scene, the body has vanished, leaving behind a chilling question: Can the dead walk? As Gin delves deeper into the incident, she is drawn into a confrontation where ancient mysticism collides with modern crime. In a land where the earth itself seems to hold secrets, she must decipher whether a murder has been committed by human hands or an act of magic before she becomes the next victim of a gathering evil.
