Summary

Don’t miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+!

“In his masterly reworking of this powerful myth, Hillerman creates a kachina for contemporary times. . . . No wonder Hillerman’s stories never grow old. Like myths, they keep evolving with the telling.”— New York Times Book Review

From the enduring "national and literary cultural sensation" (Los Angeles Times) Tony Hillerman, a crackling tale of myth, mystery, and murder featuring the legendary Leaphorn and Chee.

Though he may be retired, Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn hasn’t lost his curiosity or his edge. He’s eager to help Sergeant Jim Chee and his fiancée Bernie Manuelito with their latest case—clearing an innocent kid accused of robbing a trading post.

Billy Tuve claims he received the precious diamond from a strange old man in the canyon. Could it be one of the gems that went missing in an epic plane crash decades earlier? Now that it may have resurfaced, it’s attracted dangerous strangers to the Navajo lands.

Proving Billy’s innocence won’t be easy. Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito must find the remains of a passenger who died in the crash—one of 172 lost souls whose remains were scattered across the magnificent tiered cliffs of the Grand Canyon.

But nature may prove their deadliest adversary. To find the proof they need, the detectives must battle a thunderous monsoon and a killer as they plunge deeper into the dark realm of the Hopi Lord of Death—the guardian of the underworld known as Skeleton Man.

At last

I’ve been waiting ages for the George Guidall, narrated Tony Hillerman stories to hit Audible .

Beautifully read , with each character portrayed differently, George G. really is a master in the art of book narration . His pace and timing is just class apart from most narrators.

Great stories involving the legendary Joe Leaphorn & Jim Chee of the Navaho tribal police. I have never been to Arizona , never met a Navaho Indian but I’ve been able to picture it all in Tony Hillerman’s stories. He manages to weave a good plot while not only creating a sense of place but also shining a light on the Native American cultures and the differences between the different groups.

Please can we now have the rest , particularly the earlier stories.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
