About this listen

From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman comes another riveting mystery featuring Leaphorn & Chee who must solve the murder of a Navajo tribal policeman and figure out how this crime is connected to a historical discovery and a missing fortune.

“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.

I lived in south east Utah for almost 2 decades. Hillerman paints a picture of the high desert like no other. I can close my eyes and see the clouds and mountains of the land I love so much!

I love all things Tony Hillerman, well done!

It’s been years since I read this book even so, I was embarrassed to realize I didn’t remember the slightest details. I was at the edge of my seat trying to figure out how Chee and Leaphorn were going to solve this mystery. I was absolutely surprised and delighted with the end of the story. I enjoy the narrators subtle voice changes for each character.

Surprise Ending

But he must have been experiencing voice problems here. Sometimes like a low growl and difficult to make out words.

George Guidall is usually my favorite
