The Mystery at Owl Canyon - Paperback

by Pete Kennedy (Author)

Dreams, Werewolves, and the Spiritual Power of Paint

This third installment of The Floodwood Chronicles finds Artemis Fletcher once again on assignment.

What starts out as a simple gig protecting a surrealist art show in 1967 Mexico City quickly spirals into a luminous mystery involving dream therapy, curanderas, sacred markets, and a gallery of ancestors who may not be as dead as we think. Alongside the effervescent and enigmatic Viviana Villalobos, painter, healer, and possibly something else entirely, Artemis is drawn into a world where magic is real, memory is medicine, and the line between art and spirit blurs into something rich and strange.

From the bustling mercados of Mexico to moonlit dreamscapes and the surreal, visionary canvases of Remedios Varo, Pete Kennedy gives us another wild, warm-hearted ride through history, art, folklore, and high adventure. The Floodwood Chronicles continue to read like Indiana Jones teamed up with a crossbow-wielding mystic who moonlights as an art history professor.
