About this listen

A dying man is murdered. A rich man's wife agrees to pay $3,000 for the return of a stolen box of rocks.

A series of odd, inexplicable events is haunting Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police and drawing him alone into the Bad Country of the merciless Southwest, where nothing good can survive...including Chee. Because an assassin waits for him there, protecting a 30-year-old vision that greed has sired and blood has nourished. And only one man will walk away.

Great continuation of Hillerman's series

But what happened to Leaphorn? Why the change to Chee? Story's still good, though.

Great Story

Superb storytelling with an unusual cultural bent, in this case that of the Indians of the Southwest. Terrific narration keeps you fully engaged. Can't wait to listen to more of this series.

Easy Listening of a Great Story

For fans of detective stories, Tony Hillerman is a good listen. Intertwining the American Indian history, customs and beliefs make the stories excellent. It does not take long to become familiar and feel that you know Leaphorn & Chee characters.

I am a Laguna Indian and half Navajo Indian .

I love reading Hillerman’s books about my people and the customs. The land descriptions make you feel the powdery sand and the blowing wind and rain. The pure peace and beauty of the area.

Tony Hillerman is a classic story teller in every way.

content, topic, storyline, characters & thier development, descriptions of the area with details. didn't like that the author suffers that human characteristic of mortality.

Another great story well told!

Love these books! Easy to follow western mystery, culturally rich, masterfully told. George Guidall brings Chee and Leaphorn to life.

AWESOME!

Terrific NARRATION. I've already purchased the rest of Hillerman's books. LEAPHORN, CHEE and MANUELITO are interesting characters, the plots and visuals, writing and HISTORY of the Navajo People and NW New Mexico are utterly intriguing. GOTTA HAVE MORE!
