Coyote Dreams( Series - The Walker Papers )

In this captivating novel, Joanne Walker--Seattle cop and reluctant shaman--finally begins to learn the tricks of the trade that she has so far ignored. Things are looking up, or they would be if she could rescue her spiritual mentor and save her boss from a sleeping sickness.

Much of the city can't wake up. And more are dozing off each day.

Instead of powerful forces storming Seattle, a more insidious invasion is happening. Most of Joanne Walker's fellow cops are down with the blue flu-- or rather the blue sleep. Yet there's no physical cause anyone can point to-- and it keeps spreading.

It has to be magical, Joanne figures. But what's up with the crazy dreams that hit her every time she closes her eyes? Are they being sent by Coyote, her still-missing spirit guide? The messages just aren't clear.

Somehow Joanne has to wake up her sleeping friends while protecting those still awake, figure out her inner-spirit dream life and, yeah, come to terms with these "other" dreams she's having about her boss... .
