Search - The Fallen Man (Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee)

A wonderful addition to the series.

Former Lt. Leaphorn is retired from the force but working freelance. Chee is now Lieutenant and not sure he's happy about it. In this installment of Hillerman's popular series, the body of a rock climber is found on Ship Rock. Everyone assumes it must be that of a climber who disappeared a decade earlier, an accidental death. But was it?
