A Pilgrimage to Death

By Alexa Padgett and J.J. Cagney

A reverend haunted by grief.

A killer obsessed with patterns.

A mystery that refuses to stay buried.

Cici Gurule returns to Santa Fe, hoping to find peace after her twin sister's unsolved murder. But when another body surfaces-killed in the same ritualistic way-her nightmare reignites.

Driven by justice and guided by her sister's ghostly whispers, Cici teams up with Detective Sam Chastain. Their search leads through mountain trails and twisted clues, revealing a killer who's just getting started.

A gripping, atmospheric mystery that blends spiritual suspense with relentless pacing-perfect for fans of Tana French, Louise Penny, and Nevada Barr.
