Navajo tribal cops Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito and their mentor, the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, investigate two perplexing cases in this exciting Southwestern mystery from the New York Times best-selling author of Spider Woman's Daughter.

Doing a good deed for a relative offers the perfect opportunity for Sergeant Jim Chee and his wife, Officer Bernie Manuelito, to get away from the daily grind of police work. But two cases will call them back from their short vacation and separate them - one near Shiprock and the other at iconic Monument Valley.

Chee follows a series of seemingly random and cryptic clues that lead to a missing woman, a coldblooded thug, and a mysterious mound of dirt and rocks that could be a gravesite. Bernie has her hands full managing the fallout from a drug bust gone wrong, uncovering the origins of a fire in the middle of nowhere, and looking into an ambitious solar energy development with long-ranging consequences for Navajo land.

Under the guidance of their mentor, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, Bernie and Chee will navigate unexpected obstacles and confront the greatest challenge yet to their skills, commitment, and courage.

Im really happy to have the Leaphorn/Chees' storyline continue with the dedication to details and description of 4 corners area. Storyline tilts in a good way towards Bernie's viewpoint and does not dissapoint! This is #2 in continuation series. I've enjoyed both and am starting the third. Great job! Dad would be proud!

From Bernie's viewpoint

This is my first book by Anne Hillerman, though I have read all of the late Tony Hillerman's novels. AH delivers on the atmosphere of the Four Corners and the cultural richness of the Navajo, and for these alone I will read her other novels in the series. My only disappointment is with AH's reveals -- the truth about the crimes comes in a big rush without enough buildup and, perhaps, too many unknowns so that the reader doesn't feel the tension in the mysteries nor receive full satisfaction in the resolutions. I like Bernie. Love her Mom. Chi and Leaphorn are faithfully drawn from TH's template. I like the incorporation of contemporary dilemmas-- solar farms that endanger flora and despoil the landscape; caring for the elderly while maintaining a career; the claims of white people and Navajo to participate in the sacredness of the land. These are interesting and worthy themes that make AH's novel well worth the read. Excellent narration!

Great atmosphere, awkward reveals

Listened to all of Tony's which are outstanding. Book is ok. Narrator can't compare to George G.

Good but not the excellence of Tony's.

Great book. Anne Hillerman's style is very much like her father's. I'm so glad she has continued the stories featuring Joe Leaphorn, Jim Chee, Bernadette Manuelito. Hillerman keeps you guessing about the mysteries with each chapter. As with her father's mysteries, the Navajo cultural references serve to make the reader feel a part the world of Leaphorn, Chee, Manuelito, and the other fascinating characters. Christina Delaine is superb as she changes her voice for each of the many characters. I can't wait to hear her next book!

Wonderful - Couldn't Stop Listening

As good as her father

I love the complexity of the characters and the story line. Ann is carrying on and improving on her Fathers characters, making them her own. The well plotted story line and characters weave a wonderful mystery.

Good read!

Ms. Hillerman does a wonderful job with the relationships between people and her character of Bernadette. She does ok with Jim and Joe. Unfortunately she just is not a mystery writer. This is the second of her books in the series I've read and this one is worse than the first in terms of the mystery. The last part of the book was just painful, I muscled through, but it really ruins the book. If you buy this book, you'll know the point it just gets stupidly bad, put the book down and walk away don't listen to the end.

75% is good fiction, but it is a terrible mystery

I have read almost all the books by the HILLERMAN's. I love them all. I have learned so much about the Navaho people and culture. The stories are very interesting.

Loved it
