I was interested in this because of the plot which involved finding evidence of conversos ancestors in New Mexico. Archivist, Claire Reynier is contacted by a young woman, Isabel Santos who found a faded document wrapped in a cross by accident buried beneath her house which Claire believes is a document written byJoaquin, who is killed by the Inquisition in which he declares his faith in one go. Isabel is found dead and Claire does not believe that she was killed by
someone who robbed her for drug money. Uneven writing, don't intend to read more by author but interesting info about New Mexico scen ( )
