See all formats and editions
When the past and present collide, a boy realizes everything he values is at stake . .

A ten year enquiry into the murders of several young boys has gone cold. No witnesses, no suspect. Or so police believe, until a mysterious phone call leads the police to the remains of a young boy found near the ancient ruins of an Anasazi settlement. Is this a random act or the work of a serial killer?

When the young son of Albuquerque's Mayor is kidnapped, Detective David Temeke and his partner Malin Santiago are called to investigate. Drawn deeper into the wilderness by a man waging a war with his past, twelve year old boy-scout, Adam, must use everything he has learned to stay alive.

Temeke and Santiago are pushed to the limit in the second book of this thrilling, fast-paced series set in New Mexico

What impresses me most is the rich interplay between the detectives and the police. I never tire of reading these books. ~ Paul Henderson, Crime Fiction New Mexico

Northwest Area Command is bursting with activity as a serial killer is on the loose. A non-stop express ride, frantic, sensitive and utterly refreshing. ~ Night Horse Reviews

The Temeke series reminds me of a few old friends: some fawningly incompetent and some thoroughly decent and hard working. Temeke is an honest detective who just wants to get the job done. ~ 23rd Avenue Book Club

'Night Eyes' is evidence of an emerging, exceptional talent in contemporary crime fiction. Prepare to be transported to the dark and terrifying woodlands of New Mexico and get ready for some unexpected turns in the trails! ~ Dr. Marco Storey, PhD in Narrative Theory & Criticism.

Skillful, intelligent plotting and masterful writing. This is an author to follow and a book you simply must read.
~ B.A. Morton, Author of Bedlam and Twisted.

An electrifying new edition to the Stibbe arsenal, Night Eyes confronts relationships head on.

This author reminds me of Barbara Kingsolver who, to me, is a remarkable writer so I am happy to include Ms Stibble as my newfound top rated authors. Her attention to detail and seamless plots and characterizations I find riviting. I look forward to many happy hours spent reading new Detective Temeke future books. Got my fingers crossed that there are more stories to tell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and Intense Crime Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2016

Night Eyes is the second book in the Temeke Crime Series and is even more fascinating than the first. Once again Detectives David Temeke and Malin Santiago are called on to investigate a bizarre crime. This time the twelve year old son of Albuquerque Mayor Bill Oliver has been kidnapped. Adam Oliver isn’t your ordinary pre-teen; he’s a Boy Scout whose nickname, Night Eyes, is only one indication of his skills. After seeing his father, the Mayor, shot by kidnapper Ramsey, he manages to hold things together long enough to leave a few clues for the detectives to follow.
The growing relationship between Adam and his kidnapper is intriguing as they develop a peculiar bond of friendship. It’s obvious Ramsey has no intention of harming the boy nor does he seem particularly interested in the ransom money. Ramsey’s focus seems to be spending time with his hostage.
As Ramsey and Adam navigate the wild woods of New Mexico, Temeke and Santiago attempt to piece together the clues to the kidnapper’s identity. I enjoyed the interplay between Temeke and his fellow investigators but what truly held my interest was the growing relationship between Ramsey and Adam. In addition there are not so subtle hints about the involvement of the Mayor and his wife Raine in the kidnapping.
The underlying stories of a serial killer on the loose, Raine Oliver’s relationship with her husband, and the suggestion some huge part of the puzzle holds the answer to the events kept me reading far past my bedtime. Even when I figured out part of the mystery I was driven to learn what the final resolution would be.
Stibbe did not disappoint as she concluded the story with a painful if rewarding climax. Temeke’s brilliant insight into the criminal mind once again contributes to a satisfying conclusion.
I’m eagerly looking forward to the next book in this series and the further development of the relationship between Temeke and Santiago. Kudos to Stibbe for creating a convincing set of characters in a tightly woven plot. Keep up the good work because I am definitely hooked!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 Stars For Adam & Ramsey...2 For Temeke and Malin
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017
Verified Purchase
Confused. That was my predominant feeling while reading all the parts of the book with Temeke and Malin, and all the other characters. I felt like I stepped into the middle of a story and was never going to get the whole picture.

There was history between these characters that I was missing, and almost every interaction between them hammered that into my confused brain. Totally un-enjoyable.

On the other side, I was captured by Ramsey and Adam and kept reading solely to see their story. I had pretty much figured out the plot and loved the complexity and simplicity of their interactions. I think Ms. Stibbe wrote Adam well, and Ramsey was meant to be with him.

I don't believe I'll read another of this series.

I have enjoyed each book I've read so far in the Detective Temeke series. I love Southwestern Mysteries and this series is particularly good. You cant help but cheer for Temeke and his partner Malin Santiago. It's hard to put down and each book seems to be better than the one before. I look forward to reading the next few books. I love the setting, in beautiful New Mexico, my favorite state by far.

I read this book, the 2nd in the series before the first. I loved it. And then I could hardly wait to read Book1 in the series! If I had read Book 1 first, I would have never read Book 2, which I thought was excellent. This normally isn't my type of read, I don't like to know "who did it" until the end, usually. This book is worth the read in my book!

At times I found this book a bit disjointed but I kept wanting to read it and I'm so glad I did. Great story and intriguing characters just a bit jumpy for my liking. This is the second Detective Temeke book I have read and despite the above I really enjoyed reading it and will read the next one I come across. Recommend you read the first book so you understand some of the characters and where they fit in.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2016

Oh my! I was blown away with the first book in this series, ‘The 9th Hour’ and now the author has done it again with this fabulous sequel.
Detectives Temeke and Santiago are back, a mere 4 wks after their last case, this time on the trail of a kidnapped boy. From the opening scene we know we are in for another rollercoaster, emotional ride.
As the story swings back and forth pendulum like between the fleeing kidnapper and the pursuing detectives, the tension is ranked one ratchet at a time. Sub stories help to twist the plot even further and once again the author delivers characters so whole and believable that the good in them sings from the page and the bad makes you hang your head in despair.
For me, the star of this show is scared but resolute scout Adam and his remarkable journey of discovery.
Skilful intelligent, plotting and masterful writing. This is an author to follow and a book you simply must read.

I only give the book four stars because I felt it dragged out a little half way and slightly long winded in the middle, however some good sub plots emerged to keep you engaged at this time and Claire brought you back into the story as the ending speeds up. Really enjoyed reading, just as good as the first. Definitely getting the third.
