Synopsis
Hot on the heels of his huge bestseller, The Wailing Wind, Tony Hillerman brings back Chee and Leaphorn in a puzzling new mystery The body of a well-dressed fellow, all identification missing, is found hidden under the brush on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation. The local FBI takes over from the Navajo Police Sergeant Jim Chee, and quickly has the case snatched all the way to Washington. Washington proves uncooperative and the case is deadended. When Joe Leaphorn, the "legendary lieutenant" of Hillerman's Navajo Tribal Police discovers that Washington officials hid the body's identity, lines surprisingly connect to the case he's working on at exotic game ranch. A photograph she sends him tells Chee she is facing a danger he doesn't understand. Hillerman produces a galaxy of unusual characters in this compelling novel that is sure to confound readers until the very last page., The victim, well dressed but stripped of identification, is found at the edge of the vast Jicarilla Apache natural gas field just inside the jurisdiction of the Navajo Tribal Police, facing Sergeant Jim Chee with a complex puzzle. Why did the Washington office of the FBI snatch custody of this case from its local agents, cover it with secrecy, and call it a hunting accident? What was the victim seeking among the maze of pipelines and pumping stations in America's largest gas field? Was he investigating the embezzlement of billions of dollars from the Indian Tribal royalty trust in the Department of the Interior? On a level nearer to Chee's heart, did the photographs Bernie Manuelito took on an exotic game ranch near the Mexican border reveal something connected with this crime? Did Bernie, once a member of Chee's squad but now a rookie Border Patrol Officer, put herself in terrible danger? Tony Hillerman leads his readers through another of his intricate plots to the solution of this crime, with a cast of vivid characters: a Washington political mogul and his more-or-less renegade pilot; a customs official who bends the rules; a Mexican smuggler with a conscience; and, finally, "Legendary Lieutenant" Joe Leaphorn, now retired, who connects the lines on a dusty old map to find the answers -- and the Sinister Pig -- among the great scimitar-horned oryx grazing on the historic Tuttle Ranch.

    Great Read

    Just another in a series of wonderful stories by a late, great author who really knew how to spin a yarn. Now his daughter has continued the tradition.

    Terrific!!

    I love Tony Hillerman’s writing and his characters Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee! He brings to us a beautiful description of the area written about. He builds a terrific mystery surrounding this area and mixes it with Native American folklore and murder mystery and sometimes mayhem!! All terrific and keeps you turning the pages!!

    Great murder mysteries from the Navajo perspective

    Immerse yourself in the outstanding Navajo culture & belieft system while being entertained by a pair of native police officers who work the same murder cases, but seldom together. Get a hand on the predation the white culture has had and continues to exert upon this proud race. All 17 books are worth it.
