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.

Lt. Joe Leaphorn is drawn into a plot of 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.

A very good plot and has a lot of mysterious happenings. If you like Hillerman's books, this is a must because it's one of the best my husband and I have read so far.

Crime thriller that was an ok read. It is entertaining but not that great.

Another great story told by Tony Hillerman about Jim Chee and the Navajo Tribal Police. I love this series and learn something every time I read on of them.

Jim Chee is one of the great American literary characters ever created. The story was taut, suspensful and satisfying to the end.

awesome..Loved it will be reading more.

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.

Chee is back with Lephorn and mystery's to solve.

My husbands favorite series.

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

A mystery with a Native American twist. This is one of a series by the same author.
