A classic Tony Hillerman book. The story revolves around a crime committed on American Indian soil and the turmoil of the people surrounding the crime. Hillerman's books delve into the crime scene, crime fighting, while also depicting the lives of those surrounding the event. If you are a fan of crime writing, or a fan of Native American stories, this is a good read.
