Publisher Description

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

From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman comes another unforgettable mystery in which Leaphorn & Chee must race against the clock to solve two brutal murders.

“[Hillerman's] clowns are . . . every bit as raucous, profane, and funny as Shakespeare's."—New York Times Book Review

During a kachina ceremony at the Tano Pueblo, the antics of a dancing koshare fill the air with tension. Moments later, the clown is found bludgeoned to death, in the same manner a reservation schoolteacher was killed only days before.

Officer Jim Chee and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn believe that answers lie in the sacred clown's final cryptic message to the Tano people. But to decipher it, the two Navajo policemen may have to delve into closely guarded tribal secrets—on a sinister trail of blood that links a runaway, a holy artifact, corrupt Indian traders, and a pair of dead bodies.

Crzyhrt ,

Pretty good read

Hillerman’s characters are well developed and interesting. Good plot line that exposes one to the Indian culture of the Southwest. Just enough underlying sexual tension to keep you guessing.

LT Reads ,

Excellent book as all Hillerman books are!

This book explores more into personal relationships that Leaphorn and Chee have separately and together. They each show their personal experiences and how they are stronger together in solving each mystery. Tony Hillerman is excellent at bringing them together from separate means and ways of investigating.
