"An intriguing plot matches the well-developed, reflective leads.
As always, the real strength of this series lies in its authentic
atmosphere, evocative descriptions of the landscape, and
fascinating details of Navajo life. Hillerman consistently
satisfies." --Publishers Weekly Fossil harvesting, ancient lore,
greed, rejected love and murder combine in this gripping new
installment of New York Times bestselling author Anne Hillerman's
Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series. An unexpected death on a
lonely road outside of Utah's Bears Ears National Monument raises
questions for Navajo Tribal Police officers Jim Chee and Bernadette
Manuelito. Why would a seasoned outdoorsman and well-known
paleontologist freeze to death within walking distance of his car?
A second death brings more turmoil. Who is the unidentified man
killed during a home invasion where nothing much seems to have been
taken? Why was he murdered? The Bears Ears area, at the edge of the
Navajo Nation, is celebrated for its abundance of early human
habitation sites and the discovery of unique fossils which
revolutionized the scientific view of how early animals dealt with
their changing world. Chee and Manuelito appreciate the area's
scenery and wealth of human and scientific resources, but their
visit to this achingly beautiful place is disrupted by a current of
unprecedented violence that sweeps them both into danger. Illicit
romance, a fossilized jawbone, hints of witchcraft, and a
mysterious disappearance during a blizzard add to the peril. It
takes all of Manuelito's and Chee's experience, skill, and
intuition to navigate the threats that arise and see justice
served.

"Anne Hillerman is a star."--J. A. Jance, New York Times
bestselling author From New York Times bestselling author Anne
Hillerman, a thrilling and moving chapter in the Leaphorn, Chee
& Manuelito series involving several emotionally complex cases
that will test the detectives in different ways. Joe Leaphorn may
be long retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, but his detective
skills are still sharp, honed by his work as a private detective.
His experience will be essential to solve a compelling new case:
finding the birth parents of a woman who was raised by a bilagáana
family but believes she is Diné based on one solid clue, an old
photograph with a classic Navajo child's blanket. Leaphorn
discovers that his client's adoption was questionable, and her
adoptive family not what they seem. His quest for answers takes him
to an old trading post and leads him to a deadly cache of
long-buried family secrets. As that case grows more complicated,
Leaphorn receives an unexpected call from a person he met decades
earlier. Cecil Bowleg's desperation is clear in his voice, but just
as he begins to explain, the call is cut off by an explosion and
Cecil disappears. True to his nature, Leaphorn is determined to
find the truth even as the situation grows dangerous. Investigation
of the explosion falls in part to Officer Bernadette Manuelito, who
discovers an unexpected link to Cecil's missing wife. Bernie also
is involved in a troubling investigation of her own: an elderly
weaver whose prize-winning sheep have been ruthlessly killed by
feral dogs. Exploring the emotionally complex issues of adoption of
Indigenous children by non-native parents and abandoned animals,
Anne Hillerman delivers another thought-provoking, gripping mystery
that brings to life the vivid terrain of the American Southwest,
its people, and the lore and traditions that make it distinct.

pool of blood. With the victim in the hospital fighting for his
life, every person in the squad and the local FBI office is
hell-bent on catching the gunman. Bernie too wants in on the
investigation, especially when her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee, is
put in charge of finding the shooter.Bernie and Chee discover that
a cold case involving Chee's former boss and partner, retired
lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, may hold the key to the shooting. Digging
into the old investigation with fresh eyes and new urgency, husband
and wife find themselves inching closer to the truth with every
clue . . . and closer to a killer who will do anything to prevent
justice from taking its course.

enthralling entry in New York Times bestselling author Anne
Hillerman's Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series, set amid the
beautiful landscape of the American Southwest. What begins as a
typical day for Officer Bernadette Manuelito--serving a bench
warrant, dealing with a herd of cattle obstructing traffic, and
stumbling across a crime scene--takes an unexpected twist when
she's called to help find an old friend. Years ago, Bernie and Maya
were roommates, but time and Maya's struggles with addiction drove
them apart. Now Maya's brother asks Bernie to find out what
happened to his sister. Tracing Maya's whereabouts, Bernie learns
that her old friend had confessed to the murder of her estranged
husband, a prominent astronomer. But the details don't align.
Suspicious, Bernie takes a closer look at the case only to find
that nothing is as it seems. Uncovering new information about the
astronomer's work leads Bernie to a remote spot on the Navajo
Nation and a calculating killer. The investigation causes an
unexpected rift with her husband and new acting boss, Jim Chee,
who's sure Bernie's headed for trouble. While she's caught between
present and past, Chee is at a crossroads of his own. Burdened with
new responsibilities he didn't ask for and doesn't want, he must
decide what the future holds for him and act accordingly. Can their
mentor Joe Leaphorn--a man also looking at the past for answers to
the future--provide the guidance both Bernie and Chee need? And
will the Navajo heroes that stud the starry sky help them find
justice--and the truth they seek?

A New York Times Bestseller Anne Hillerman brings together modern
mystery, Navajo traditions, and the evocative landscape of the
desert Southwest in this intriguing entry in the Leaphorn, Chee,
and Manuelito series. When Tribal Police Officer Bernadette
Manuelito arrives to speak at an outdoor character-building program
for at-risk teens, she discovers chaos. Annie, a young participant
on a solo experience due back hours before, has just returned and
is traumatized. Gently questioning the girl, Bernie learns that
Annie stumbled upon a human skeleton on her trek. While everyone is
relieved that Annie is back, they're concerned about a beloved
instructor who went out into the wilds of the rugged lava
wilderness bordering Ramah Navajo Reservation to find the missing
girl. The instructor vanished somewhere in the volcanic landscape
known as El Malpais. In Navajo lore, the lava caves and tubes are
believed to be the solidified blood of a terrible monster killed by
superhuman twin warriors. Solving the twin mysteries will expose
Bernie to the chilling face of human evil. The instructor's
disappearance mirrors a long-ago search that may be connected to a
case in which the legendary Joe Leaphorn played a crucial role. But
before Bernie can find the truth, an unexpected blizzard, a
suspicious accidental drowning, and the arrival of a new FBI agent
complicate the investigation. While Bernie searches for answers in
her case, her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee juggles trouble closer to
home. A vengeful man he sent to prison for domestic violence is
back--and involved with Bernie's sister Darleen. Their relationship
creates a dilemma that puts Chee in uncomfortable emotional
territory that challenges him as family man, a police officer, and
as a one-time medicine man in training. Anne Hillerman takes us
deep into the heart of the deserts, mountains, and forests of New
Mexico and once again explores the lore and rituals of Navajo
culture in this gripping entry in her atmospheric crime series.
