This Glittering World by T. Greenwood

In Flagstaff, Arizona, Ben bailey, a bar-tender and adjunct history professor, struggles with the murder of a 19-year old Navajo man, Ricky Begay, who laid dying on Bailey's front yard the morning after Halloween. Consumed by finding the killer(s), Ben neglects his fiancee Sara, and their relationship begins to unravel.
Ben is attracted to Ricky's sister Shadi. Could Ben free himself from his hidden childhood sorrow by helping Shadi solve her brother's murder?
Greenwood has weaved a tragically beautiful story. Her imagery of This Glittering World's snow and ice is mesmerizing. It is a thought provoking page-turner.
