The state police and FBI are baffled when an old man and a teenage girl are brutally murdered. The blind Navajo Listening Woman speaks of ghosts and of witches. But Lieutenant Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police knows his people as well as he knows cold-blooded killers. His incredible investigation carries him from a dead man's secret to a kidnap scheme, to a conspiracy that stretches back more than one hundred years. Leaphorn arrives at the threshold of a solution--and is greeted with the most violent confrontation of his career.

If you like stories of the Indian culture this is a must read "Listening Woman" love the suspense and surprise at the end of each of his books.
Colleen H. (I enjoy Hillerman's books and this one was no exception.

Tony Hillerman spins excellent mystery stories set in the the American Southwest. A blind shaman called Listening Woman talks of witches and restless spirits but Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Nvajo Tribal Police is sure the murederer of an old man and a teenage girl was human.

Maggy S. (Very descriptive and enjoyable. I was right there with detective Leaphorn and had a hard time putting it down.
Scarlet O. (I really enjoy Tony Hillerman's writings. It could be slightly predictable at times, but the style and story are done well enough to carry it. This was the first I read of his, and it made me continue to seek out his books. I enjoyed this story considerably and recommend it too.
Another Joe Leaphorn msytery with lots of information about life in the Southwest and Navajo culture. Hillerman is consistently a pleasure to read!
