Don’t Miss the AMC television series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, coming this summer!
The tenth novel in Tony Hillerman's acclaimed Leaphorn and Chee series — “Bolt the door, disconnect the phone, and declare yourself off limits....Coyote Waits is a real confounder, not at all what you expected.” (Denver Post)
The car fire didn't kill Navajo Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez—a bullet did. And the old man in possession of the murder weapon is a whiskey-soaked shaman named Ashie Pinto. Officer Jim Chee is devastated by the slaying of his good friend Del, and confounded by the prime suspect's refusal to utter a single word of confession or denial.
Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn believes there is much more to this outrage than what appears on the surface, as he and Jim Chee set out to unravel a complex weave of greed and death that involves a historical find and a lost fortune. But the hungry and mythical trickster Coyote is waiting, as always, in the shadows to add a strange and deadly new twist.
Customer Reviews
Love Chee and Leaphorn!
Mr. Hillerman did a terrific job in his books, setting up his stories with interesting characters that are so much more than just policemen, solving crimes that are so complex and with fascinating twists and details that could be difficult to understand without his explanations of the Navajo or Native American culture that is woven throughout his work. I read his books when they first came out, and I have enjoyed rereading them over the years because is storytelling ability is phenomenal! Coyote Waits is not my favorite of his works, but it’s a good one, I hope you enjoy it.
Books of the West
I like reading about the American West. I grey up reading my daddy’s Zane Grey books. When I found Tony Hillerman I knew I’d read lots of his books. One of the things I like about his books is the Indian point of view. They are good mysteries that taught me more about fellow Americans. I’ll continue to read them as long as he or his daughter write them.
Lousy ending
