Coyote Blue is the second novel by Christopher Moore, published in 1994.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The plot concerns a salesman in Santa Barbara, California named Sam Hunter (a Crow Indian born Samson Hunts Alone) who as a teenager fled his home when he was involved in the death of a law officer, and who as an adult has his life turned upside down by Coyote, the ancient Native American trickster-god.
One of the minor characters, "Minty Fresh" becomes an important feature of Moore's later work A Dirty Job. In addition, Coyote Blue makes passing reference to "Augustus Brine," and "Detective Sergeant Alphonso Rivera," characters from Moore's first novel, Practical Demonkeeping. Rivera also plays an important role in A Dirty Job.
