{"product_id":"adler-sky-desert-of-names-9781923593459","title":"Desert of Names","description":"In February 2009, a dog walker on Albuquerque's western edge uncovered a human bone. That discovery led to the largest homicide investigation in New Mexico's history: eleven women, buried in shallow graves across the barren mesa, their disappearances stretching back to the early 2000s. The case remains unsolved.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDesert of Names: The West Mesa Burials traces this haunting story from the first excavation to the families' unrelenting search for justice. At its center are the lives of the women-mothers, daughters, and sisters who were more than the circumstances of their deaths. Their names and stories anchor a narrative that explores forensic investigation, policing, community trauma, and the city's struggle to reckon with violence against its most vulnerable.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a clear, fact-driven voice, Sky Adler restores dignity to those lost, situating Albuquerque's tragedy within larger patterns of systemic neglect and resilience. This book is not a tale of mystery for entertainment but a record of grief, remembrance, and unfinished justice in the American Southwest.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53745780916566,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/adler-sky-desert-of-names-9781923593459","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
