a great book by tony hillerman you'll enjoy reading. any fan of chee and leaphorn must read.
If you read Hillerman before you will enjoy this book.
Fascinated by the southwest native culture...as seen through the eyes and heart of Officer Jim Chee. The conflicts it brings between his native customs and "the law".

very good
My husband told me this was the best Hillerman he had read so far. We have several more to be read then will post them. This was a real mystery and toward the end keeps you guessing. I just finished it last night so wanted to post it right away. You'll enjoy it from page one.

Another great mystery from Hillerman starring tribal detective Jim Chee

Tribal policeman Jim Chee hunts for a killer from the Navajo reservation all the way to Las Angeles and back while trying to find a young girl who does not realize she is in danger from the same man. This book involves hired killers, mafia, and the witness protection program, which is why I feel it is not one of Hillerman's better works. This is the seventh of the Chee/Leaphorn books, featuring only Chee. Chee is not only a policeman but studying to learn the healing arts of his people before they are lost forever. There is a significant amount of Navajo lore in this one.
