About this listen

A lost gold mine, a corpse in an abandoned pickup truck, and an eerie wailing heard on Halloween are among the delicious plot elements Tony Hillerman cooks up in his 15th novel featuring Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. The two Navajo cops, one old and one young—who originally debuted in separate series but have been collaborating for many books now—are among the most engaging, fully human characters in crime fiction. As The Wailing Wind beautifully demonstrates, there's only one Tony Hillerman ... and he's at the top of his game.

One of Tony Hillerman’s best

The characters seemed more fully developed in this novel. I like all the novels, and this one in particular!

Among Hillerman's Best

Among the best of Hillerman's Leaphorn/Chee books, this book has excellent character development and a strong plot. This kind of writing is why the series has been so popular for so long.

Another good one

I really enjoy the detail in the descriptions of the characters and the surroundings. All of Leaphorn, Chee books are well done who dunnits with minimal use of weapons and other violence. The descriptions of and respect for Native American culture is informative and refreshing.
