From Martin Cruz Smith, the internationally bestselling writer of Gorky Recreation area, comes a reissue of Nightwing, the million-copy bestseller that Stephen King called “one of the best horror novels in the last twenty years.”

As darkness gathers, the sky is filled with frantic movement and maddening murmurs. In order to end the globe, an unhappy, maturing Native American shaman invokes the Hopi god of loss of life. Those around him stay skeptical, dismissing him as crazy previous man. Then they discover his mutilated, bloody body and soon other similarly disfigured bodies start to seem. Horses, sheep, cattle—no living factor is secure. But what is causing the horrible deaths? Deputy Sheriff Duran is named back to the reservation to investigate. Immediately, Duran recognizes the significance of the shaman’s spell and, with the help of two scientists, he works to combat the supernatural scourge—before there’s nothing left to save lots of.

Created “in the tradition of Stephen King” (Kirkus Reviews), Nightwing can be part love triangle, part Local American case study, part supernatural thriller…and “genuinely horrifying” (The Washington Post Book World).
