The Anasazi Mysteries consists of three novels by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear: The Visitant (1999), The Summoning God (2000), and Bone Walker (2001). The books blend archaeological investigation with mysteries set in the prehistoric Puebloan world of the American Southwest.

The series uses a dual timeline structure, following both modern archaeologists uncovering ancient sites and the people who lived in those places centuries ago. This approach lets the Gears combine their professional knowledge with suspenseful storytelling. The series was re-issued in 2023 as a six-book set, splitting the original three volumes.
