Publisher Description

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

“Brilliant…as fascinating as it is original.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, the first novel in his series featuring Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn & Officer Jim Chee who encounter a bizarre case that borders between the supernatural and murder

Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place—a corpse with a mouth full of sand—abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

There is palpable evil in the air, and Leaphorn's pursuit of a Wolf-Witch leads him where even the bravest men fear, on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder.

Navajo world

My first Hillerman book. Life in Navajo land is interrupted by greed and criminals. A college professor is an unlikely hero until he teams up with Sheriff. Good story line and a deep look into the Navajo people.

The Blessing Way Tony Hillerman

Homicide is almost unheard of in a Navajo reservation. A corpse is discovered with no clues or tracks of any kind. Navajo police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn suspects a type of killer the Navajo’s refer to as a supernatural killer called a Wolf-Witch. What ensues is a plot involving three men one who has set up radar near a military reservation to steal information regarding a ballistic missile system. An excellent read!! Enjoyed immensely!!
