This is a beautiful first edition copy. The NEw York Times and Los Angeles Times rates Tony Hillerman as an outstanding story teller. Former Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn comes out of retirement to help investigate what seems to be a trading post robbery.A simpleminded kid nailed for the crime is the cousin of old friend of Jim Chee. Maybe this is not so simple.It is linked with a diamond robbery. And the original diamond robber is dead. Jim Chee and the old dead diamond robber's daughter are both looking for his body. So is a third party willing to kill anyone who gets in his way. What clue is on the long dead diamond robbers body? Another Navajo is dead and connected to this crime. It's a race to the finish in a desolate canyon with heavy rains who will find the clue to the diamonds and who will survive. This is not the simpleminded man's crime, unless he has at least one accomplice but who is willing to kill so much to see that these crimes are not solved?
