"In "The Stolen Gods," Page offers readers a well-developed plot, engaging characters, the Southwestern landscape and the interplay of cultures. Mystery fans will be glad to know that he repeats this recipe for success in subsequent titles in the series." An enjoyable foray into Hopi land and the world of corrupt art dealers. Page, whos written about the Hopis in past nonfiction works, clearly feels at home in such a large landscape. And, like his blind protagonist, hes sensitive to the traditions of the reserved, intensely private people who inhabit it. Fast-paced and engaging . . . sustains the readers interest by shifting its point of view among the various suspects and sleuths. . . . the work feels authentic, due to its complex, well-drawn characters and convincing detail.
