In "The Spirit Line" by David Thurlo, the story follows a Navajo police officer, Ella Clah, as she investigates a series of mysterious events linked to her tribe's traditions and supernatural beliefs. When a young girl goes missing, Ella is drawn into a world where the boundaries between the living and the spirit world blur. As she delves deeper into the investigation, she discovers a connection to a dark past that threatens the community's spiritual balance. With her heritage and commitment to justice on the line, Ella must navigate between the realities of law enforcement and the powerful forces of her culture.
