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.

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.

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.
