Native Blood (A Harry Przewalski Mystery)

Leonard Krishtalka

4.9/5 (28365 ratings)

Description:In the back-biting world of academia, a biological anthropologist studying indigenous genetics is bludgeoned to death. The university chancellor's son, an Athabascan native and archeology student, is charged with murder. He'd led a violent protest against the genomic studies of the first Americans. PI Harry Przewalski becomes immersed in a tangle of deceit, personal vendettas, unethical research, and archeological fraud. In Native Blood, the fourth installment in the Harry Przewalski Mystery Series, the author delivers a pulsing narrative of sexual betrayal, blackmail, the passions of an illicit affair, and a coverup of an archeological bombshell. A web of treachery surrounds a missing flint spear point that threatens to upend careers and what we knew about the first Americans. Was the anthropologist killed over an explosive theory that the Americas were peopled at least twice from different continents more than 13,000 years ago? The stakes in this race for scientific discovery and fame are murderous. Native Blood tackles the intense conflicts between genetics, archeology, and the Native Americans' own origin stories. It reveals anthropology's long entanglement with race and racial theory, and the darkest shadows cast by the unspeakable treatment of indigenous peoples. In the end, Przewalski uncovers a diabolical plot, one in which justice, as a human invention, makes mistakes. With its rich descriptions, driving narrative, and suspenseful plot, Native Blood is a must-read for anthropology and history enthusiasts, readers of detective fiction and psychological suspense, and fans of compelling scientific and human intrigues. Brace yourself for an extraordinary thriller.Reader's Favorite ReviewReviewed by: Asher SyedReview Rating: 5 Stars - Congratulations on your 5-star review! Get your free 5-star seal!In Native Blood by Leonard Krishtalka, a biological anthropologist investigating indigenous genetics is killed and the blame lands on the chancellor's Athabascan Native son, an archaeology student engaged in protesting early American genomic probes. Harry Przewalski, a private eye, is sucked into an intricate network of field flaws as the focal point becomes a vanished flint spearhead, its implications challenging established notions of America's original settlers. Conflicts between anthropology, genetics, and Native American roots are revealed, as are historical ties between anthropology, racism, and the oppression of indigenous cultures. Native Blood is the fourth book in the Harry Przewalski crime series, preceded by The Bone Field, Death Spoke, and The Camel Driver."The lesson of anthropology is the death of theory... Deadly serious. I mean that literally." And Leonard Krishtalka certainly does in his exceptionally crafted thriller Native Blood. There are several things that Krishtalka does right to make this novel an engrossing read, and most of them come down to the main character, Harry Przewalski. Harry is incredibly well-developed and imperfect enough to be believable. Krishtalka backs Harry up with witty dialogue and some decently heavy background baggage and then has him reference detective novels and find himself followed by someone who may or may not have a minivan. I love the visual imagery, from crime scenes to an office the size of a prairie outhouse. Against the wit there also deeply troubling themes that arise. Here we are confronted with the brutality of our past, its clash with our present, and violence against First Americans and, in the case of the dead, the persistent assault on women. Overall, this is a fantastically written and immersive read. Very highly recommended.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
