Product Description
Product Description
Ella Clah has found her place on the Navajo Reservation, in her tribe, her clan, and her family. She has seen the Diné at their worst—and at their best—as they balance the modern era with the traditional Navajo way of life.
The Navajo are building a nuclear power plant on the Reservation. Though the tribe voted for the plant, there are those who believe that nuclear power is inherently dangerous—and particularly so for the Navajo, due to past uranium mining operations that contaminated land and water and sickened many Navajo workers and their families.
A group of activists is determined to do whatever is necessary to stop the plant—assault, sabotage, domestic terrorism. When a fellow Navajo Police officer is injured in an attack aimed at Ella’s boyfriend, Ella vows to do whatever it takes to find the terrorists and bring them to justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars
super police procedural, Nov 1 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Earthway: An Ella Clah Novel (Hardcover)
In Shiprock, New Mexico Navajo Tribal Police Special Investigator Ella Clah discovers a pipe bomb in the classroom of her almost-lover, former Fed Christian minister Reverend Bilford "Ford" Tome. The bomb explodes injuring an officer. Meanwhile Ford and Ella work together trying to uncover who the maniacs are who are trying to sabotage a nuclear plant on the Navaho reservation and wonder if the bomb is linked.
The inquiry is complicated by an anti nuclear energy professor sending and receiving encrypted e-mail messages to an environmental group ironically considering domestic terrorism; an abusive spouse who blames the former minister for the destruction of his marriage; and finally survivalists who are camping nearby. A sniper, who could be connected to any of the three groups, or perhaps an unknown fourth unit, targets Ford and Ella as well.
The fifteenth Ella Clah Navaho police procedural is a super entry in a great series. The heroine has personal choices to make that conflict her inner soul. She loves the Reverend but enough to adopt his belief system over her own is a difficult dilemma for her. The story line is fast-paced as several suspects surface who have motives to eliminate Ford. Fans of the saga will appreciate Team Thurlo's terrific thriller while newcomers will enjoy their stay on the Navaho reservation and look forward to more time there.

Not the best in the series, May 12 2010
By M. Butler "mebooklady" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Earthway: An Ella Clah Novel (Hardcover)
I have read all of the Ella Clah series, and would consider myself a fan, but this one offered nothing new or even remotely different. The characters were "preachy," stilted, and rather repetitive. This was a shame, since usually this series gives the reader some insight into other cultures.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Stuff, Jan 16 2010
By Baregrass "New Mexico Native" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Earthway: An Ella Clah Novel (Hardcover)
I love the whole Ella Clah series and this one did not disappoint. I eagerly await the next one! The Thurlows have created a character that is a worthy successor to Hillermann's characters Leaphorn and Chee.
Listmania!
