Don’t miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+!
The fifth novel in Tony Hillerman's iconic Leaphorn and Chee mystery series
The corpse had been "scalped," its palms and soles removed after death. Sergeant Jim Chee, a thoughtful Native American detective for the Navajo Tribal Police, knows immediately he will have his hands full with this case, a certainty that is supported by the disturbing occurrences to follow. A mysterious nighttime plane crash, a vanishing shipment of cocaine, and a bizarre attack on a windmill only intensify Chee’s fears. A dark and very ill wind is blowing through the Southwestern desert, a gale driven by whispers of Navajo witchcraft and white man’s greed. And it will sweep away everything unless Chee can somehow change the weather.

The Dark Wind. Tony Hillerman
A corpse is found with it’s hands and feet scalped. Next an airplane crashes possibly involved in drug trafficking. Sergeant Jim Chee witnesses the airplane crash while investigating vandalism to a windmill formerly on Navajo land now belonging to the Hopi tribe when the Navajo were forced off by the Indian Bureau of Land Management. Sgt. Chee is slowly unraveling the clues and a crooked DEA agent whose only motivation is money. Another excellent read in this series!!!
The Dark Wind
Terrible.
Culture Triumphs Over Crime
Tony Hillinger was an extremely adept mystery writer. But, his insights into Diné society (and neighboring tribal people) is what keeps me reading.
