Publisher Description

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

Murder, deception, Navajo tradition, and the stars collide in this enthralling entry in New York Times bestselling author Anne Hillerman’s Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series, set amid the beautiful landscape of the American Southwest.

What begins as a typical day for Officer Bernadette Manuelito—serving a bench warrant, dealing with a herd of cattle obstructing traffic, and stumbling across a crime scene—takes an unexpected twist when she’s called to help find an old friend. Years ago, Bernie and Maya were roommates, but time and Maya’s struggles with addiction drove them apart. Now Maya’s brother asks Bernie to find out what happened to his sister.

Tracing Maya’s whereabouts, Bernie learns that her old friend had confessed to the murder of her estranged husband, a prominent astronomer. But the details don’t align. Suspicious, Bernie takes a closer look at the case only to find that nothing is as it seems. Uncovering new information about the astronomer’s work leads Bernie to a remote spot on the Navajo Nation and a calculating killer.

The investigation causes an unexpected rift with her husband and new acting boss, Jim Chee, who’s sure Bernie’s headed for trouble. While she’s caught between present and past, Chee is at a crossroads of his own. Burdened with new responsibilities he didn’t ask for and doesn’t want, he must decide what the future holds for him and act accordingly. 

Can their mentor Joe Leaphorn—a man also looking at the past for answers to the future—provide the guidance both Bernie and Chee need? And will the Navajo heroes that stud the starry sky help them find justice—and the truth they seek?

Different but just as good.

It was interesting with all the characters working on separate cases and just checking in with each other. I don’t remember one like that before.

A stupendous read!!! Bernie is assisting the FBI in an homicide investigation with twists and turns at every corner. Her husband Chee is the acting Captain for the Navajo Tribal Police and is overwhelmed with the assignment. LT. Joe Leaphorn as usual is there mentor for both Chee and Bernie. As I stated earlier an stupendous read!!! Enjoyed immensely!! My highest recommendation!!

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

Anne’s writing is wonderful. She keeps me on the edge of my set as I attempt to guess the bad one. Waiting for the next book of Chee, Bernie and Longhorn.
