SynopsisDon't miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+! "Brilliant...as fascinating as it is original."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, the first novel in his series featuring Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn & Officer Jim Chee who encounter a bizarre case that borders between the supernatural and murder Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place--a corpse with a mouth full of sand--abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer. There is palpable evil in the air, and Leaphorn's pursuit of a Wolf-Witch leads him where even the bravest men fear, on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder., Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high lonely place, a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues.

I won't give my copy away this time
I'd given away my copy when I read it the first time, so I'm back for seconds. This was Tony Hillerman's first Navajo-themed mystery, with Joe Leaphorn playing a minor role. I recently read that his editor had asked him to enlarge Leaphorn's part in the story. Anthropologist Bergen McKee, Leaphorn's friend from college, is a self-deprecating hero (Leaphorn had studied Anthropology). He even gets a second chance at romance. The mystical parts of Navajo beliefs and traditions are compelling, and I can picture the scenes as the protagonists cross the landscape from classic films such as "The Searchers". The descriptions of the cliffside dwellings that play a crucial part in this book are especially fascinating to one who has studied archaeology. We even learn that the ancient inhabitants had planned for escapes in case of attack.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Very well written novel
The Joe Leaphorn detective novels are superbly written. The are gentle--no "in your face" violence. The crime is there. It is solved by a smart policeman who is also a Navajo. Interwoven in the novel are descriptions of the Navajo culture. Hillerman's use of language is excellent; his descriptions of the Arizona landscape are marvelous. HIs characters are real. How I wish Hillerman were still alive.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Love Tony Hillerman
This book arrived when it said it would. I appreciate that. I have been a fan of Tony Hillerman for many years. Am re- reading my favorite books. I particularly enjoy his descriptions of Indian culture in the four corners area. And he fights a great mystery.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

I love these Hillerman books - with both Chee & Leaphorn - especially. Hillerman was a great writer and is really missed by his fans.

The title is typical Hillermann, taken from the name of a Navajo curing ceremony.
Excellent book, compelling characters and an edge-of-your-seat plot. Plus, it's a wonderful look into the life of the Navajo people and a great read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Tony Hillerman writes the books about Native American life that are NOT westerns!!
This is the first book of the series. The tv show Dark Winds is based on the lead character. Sure hope the series comes back in the fall!!!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
