Blessed with deadly shooting skill, a young Apache leads and avenges his people amidst the tsunami of Whites filling their land. In the cold November wind of 1865, five hundred Mescalero Apaches at the Bosque Redondo Apache/Navajo concentration camp near Fort Sumner, New Mexico, vanished one night under the watchful eyes of the U.S. Army. They were never caught. Among them is a five-year-old boy who becomes a legend around the fires of the Mescalero. Ussen, God, Creator of life, gives the boy, grown to a warrior, a gift of Power. With his Power he is so accurate with his Yellow Boy rifle he can kill witches by shooting their eyes to send them forever blind to the Happy Land of the grandfathers. He is immune to ghost sickness, and he will be known as Yellow Boy. Yellow Boy must soon test his Power to find and kill a giant, Mexican-Comanche witch, his bald head painted to look like a skull, his body tattooed with black spirals and flames, and the leader of a band of Comanches and Mexican banditos who have murdered and scalped all but a small remnant of Yellow Boy's People. It is a hunt and odyssey that ranges for years across the American southwest and Mexican Sierra Madre Mountains. Killer of Witches is a powerful story, truth told with fiction transporting the reader to a different background, culture, history, time, and religion. It is the other side of Apache history told by a People fighting the tsunami of Americans migrating west and the terrors of supernatural beliefs appearing in their lives.
