by CE Murphy is the first book in the Walker Papers series. Joanne Walker is a mechanic. She works for the police department and because of her native american heritage she graduated from the police academy at the insistence of the former police chief. However, her true love is being a mechanic and she has no desire to be a police officer. She is on the way home from her mother's funeral in Ireland when she looks out the plane window to see a woman being chased down the street. She goes in search of the mysterious woman. The woman is running from the Hunt and can tell when a person is going to die. She tells Joanne she will die, but when the time comes, Joanne cheats death but awakens her Shaman powers.When Joanne finally makes it in to the police station, she finds that her position as mechanic has been filled (she was gone months longer than her original leave of baseness was granted) but because of her heritage, they aren't firing her, she is going to be a beat cop.
I enjoyed this story and its mix of native american and Irish traditions. I will be reading the second book soon. This is another series where I got lucky and found it after several books were already released so I have a while to read before I start waiting for a new book in this one.
