Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police are working together again on seemingly unrelated murders. Jim Chee narrowly escapes death while Leaphorn worries about his wife Emma's declining health. I love these Leaphorn and Chee books. The character development is just as interesting as the story line and the tidbits on Navajo life are enlightening. I found myself staying up until 2 am to finish the book because I HAD to know what Emma Leaphorn was suffering from, never mind who was doing all the killing. This is the 8th Leaphorn/Chee book chronologically, but they are not both featured in every book. This is the second time they worked together on a crime, so each is still trying to figure the other one out. These books have something for everyone, suspense, romance, history, local color, even weather reports.
