Title: The Pusher Man 

Author: Lisa Boyle

Released: July 8, 2025

Find it: Amazon

Private Investigator James Pinter has been working closely with the Navajo tribal police for nearly a year when a woman dies at the Shiprock Hospital under questionable circumstances. Threatened only weeks before, the woman was a member of WARN, a group known on the reservation to loudly, and sometimes violently, air political grievances.

The victim’s husband refuses an autopsy, and though the surgeon suspects sepsis, he will not rule out poisoning. When James and his partner find out that the victim’s peyote—a hallucinogen allowed on the reservation for ceremonial purposes—has been contaminated, they draw up a list of the victim’s enemies. At the top? Cecil Cody. One of the reservation’s most notorious criminals and supplier of peyote to the Native American Church. 

Chasing the psychedelic plant’s origins, James finds himself back in Texas where a visit to an old friend leads him to the desert hills where the peyote is harvested, and eventually, to a lab known for its experimental research. As James starts to dig deeper, one thing seems certain: this sacred tradition is turning deadly, and its next victim could be someone close to James. Someone for whom he would do anything. Even kill.

Review for The Pusher Man

Book 3 in this series totally hooked me—even though I haven’t read the first two (yet). Don’t worry, you can jump right in and still follow along just fine. Now I’m extra curious about how James’ P.I. business and his relationship with Molly began, so guess who’s starting from book one next?

This story dives into their latest investigation with plenty of detail and clear, well-researched writing. I especially appreciated the glimpse into life on the reservation—it’s both eye-opening and respectful. The character development shines, and the family moments had my heart feeling all warm and fuzzy. A thoughtful, engaging mystery with heart, culture, and just the right dose of curiosity to keep you turning pages.
