A corpse whose plams and soles have been "scalped" is only the first in a series of disturbing clues: an airplane's mysterious crash in the nightime desert, a bizarre attack on a windmill, avanishing shipment of cocaine. sgt. Jiom Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police is trapped in the deadly web of a cunningly spun plot driven by Navajo sorcery and white man;s greed.

Hillerman always has a surprise, a twist in the story that keeps you in suspense. I like the history, issues, customs of the Native Americans that weave in and out of the story and which makes each book so atypical of "regular" mysteries.

Interesting tale about drug runners on the Hopi-Navajo reservation. Tony Hillerman makes mention that Hopi theology as represented in this novel may not be perfectly accurate.
