About this listen
In this tightly paced sequel to Redemption, Eva “Lightning Dance” Duran joins the Taos Pueblo tribal police department to uncover a member of her community’s murder…and the conspiracy behind it.
It’s been over a year since the case that almost broke her, but when Eva “Lightning Dance” Duran is called back to duty, she doesn’t hesitate to answer. A bank robbery has left an officer down and a suspect on the run. Law enforcement is in hot pursuit, and residents are on the lookout—but before anyone can catch the criminal, tragedy strikes.
A member of the Taos Pueblo tribe has been shot and killed. The culprit? An untraceable 3D printed gun. With the support of fellow tribal cops, Eva breaks the news to the victim’s family and swears to find justice.
More violence follows, feeding the rising racial tensions between the Taos Pueblo people and the Hispanic community. New evidence forces Eva to consider the possibility that the bank robbery and 3D guns are related, but until she figures out how, there’s no telling how deep this crime ring goes…or how far its evasive ringleader will go to protect it.

Critic reviews
“Ledford’s sequel to Redemption excels…For fans of books by both Tony and Anne Hillerman, along with others that embody the spirit and landscape of the Southwest.”—Library Journal
“By anchoring the story in her vivid characters, many haunted by corrosive shame or regret, Ledford elegantly links Duran’s investigations and Pueblo traditions within a compelling narrative, giving this novel an uncommon depth.” —The Irish Times
“Deborah J Ledford’s Havoc releases the latest chapter in the harrowing story of Taos officer Eva Duran and her latest quest for justice. During a significantly dark day in the Pueblo community, Ledford tells the story of Officer Duran and a wide community of characters who somehow balance their duties to solving a devastating crime in their community and maintaining traditional obligations with pride and dignity. Ledford juggles these details with a heightened sense of knowledge and research and creates a significant and accomplished portrait of contemporary crime fighting in tribal communities.”—Ramona Emerson, author of Shutter, Edgar Award nominee, Longlisted for the National Book Award and PEN/Hemingway Award
