Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: For hundreds of years, the Jemez high country of New Mexico has been steeped in rumor and legend. Some say one of the original Seven Golden Cities of the Cibola Indians was once there, sought by Spanish conquistadors. In more recent times, stories of men having gone missing along the fabled Rio Del Gato - the River of the Cat - have become part of local folklore. When Preacher Devlin discovers two murdered men with the face of a cat cut into their palms, and then surreptitiously observes a small band of Indians traveling through a canyon - led by a woman wearing a gold cat's-head mask - he reckons he's stumbled upon something extraordinary. With an ethnologist as his new companion, Devlin must fend off gunslinging fortune-hunters in a race to be the first to unravel the secret of the lost Cibola gold.
