REVIEWS

“Tony Hillerman fans will welcome Medhat’s excellent debut and series launch, a refreshing take on Navajo country’s crime, culture, and history…” PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review

“Move over Walt Longmire. Make room for Franz Kafka, aka ‘K’. (…) This book is a high-wire act and the author shines a bright, steady beam on the dark stage where clashing cultures meet.”    SARA PRITCHARD, author of Crackpots

“In K, Medhat has created a unique character”  DURANGO HERALD

“…a buddy novel, a work of history and collective and inter-generational trauma, a play with genre, from noir(…) to road movie…It deals with the pragmatics and compromises of daily living in a land that is far less than promised, its institutions deeply flawed. It is nevertheless a novel of kindness, depth and generosity, and it is under no illusions both to the best as well as the worst of what we can be.” EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHOTHERAPY & COUNSELLING

“A New Crime Fighting Duo Is Born.”  FOUR CORNERS FREE PRESS  

“More books featuring this winning character would be welcome.” RAIN TAXI

“Lacandon Dreams is a gem of a novel — one that engages the reader’s brain, heart, and soul and establishes Katayoun Medhat as a rising star of the mystery genre.  It’s only a matter of time before her wonderful Franz Kafka/Robbie Begay novels find the national audience they so richly deserve.” CHUCK GREAVES, author of  The Chimera Club
