March 17, 2023, 7 PM, Back of Beyond Books and the Grand County Public Library present a reading and signing with Scott Graham and his new book: Saguaro Sanction

March 17, 2023

Saguaro Sanction

When Janelle Ortega’s cousin from Mexico is found brutally murdered at a remote petroglyph site in Saguaro National Park, she and her husband, archaeologist Chuck Bender, are drawn deep into a threatening web of hostility and deceit stretching south across the US-Mexico border and back in time a thousand years, to when the Hohokam people thrived in the Sonoran Desert.

Book 8 in Scott Graham’s National Park Mystery Series introduces readers to the landscapes and cultural histories of Saguaro National Park in southern Arizona, providing an inside look at the wonders of the wildly popular national park and its archaeological and cultural complexities.

In addition to discussing Saguaro Sanction we will also be looking at Scott’s earlier title, Canyonlands Carnage which is set near Moab in Cataract Canyon. Canyonlands Carnage was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award last year.

This event will be at the Grand County Public Library, 257 E. Center St. Moab, Ut. It is free and open to the public.

Hampton Sides is my favorite author of narrative nonfiction and reading his 2014 book In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the U.S.S. Jeannette only solidified that opinion. It is the harrowing story of an 1879 arctic expedition that became a desperate struggle for survival after the ship was trapped in ice. The book reads almost like a novel with a captivating cast of characters and expert pacing. Both difficult to put down and informative, it provides the larger societal context without ever bogging down the thrilling tale of adventure and hardship. Sides is a fantastic storyteller and this is yet another book of his that I heartily recommend to anyone who enjoys reading about history.
