Five Cherokee lie ritually slain in a Carolina cave, scalps shaved and faces tattooed in the style of a long vanished secret medicine society. The tribes say it is the work of a spirit creature they call "Uktena"...the Snake Ghost. Determined to expose the real slayer and stop the butcherous rites, B.I.A. agent Caleb Easton and forensic psychologist Ellen Masterson track a grisly trail. It leads west to sacred burial grounds in Oklahoma and finally to Aztec ruins and outcast Mormon polygamy colonies in the wilderness mountains of Mexico. Like a colorful blanket from the Indian lands where this supernatural thriller is set, CIRCLE OF FIRE weaves Native American mysticism with Mormon folk legend in a quest for a lost sacred treasure and a mythical killer whose crimes span two centuries.
