Three shotgun blasts rip through the side of Officer Jim Chee's trailer as the Navajo Tribal Policeman sleeps. He survives, but the inexplicable attack has raised disturbing questions about a lawman once beyond reproach. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn wonders why Chee was a target and what connection the assault has to a series of gruesome murders that has been plaguing the reservation. But the investigation is leading them both into a nightmare of ritual, witchcraft, and blood . . . and into the dark and mystical domain of evil beings of Navajo legend, the "skinwalkers."

Tony Hillerman does a brilliant job of evoking the feel of the Colorado Plateau and a very believable job of building Dineh characters. (From things I've read, the members of the tribe feel much the same, though I can't make much comment personally.)

Every book in the series that I've read I've found to be very much worth the time. Highly recommended.

And of course George Guidall does his usual brilliant job as a narrator. Nearly any book is better for his narration.

Excellent Series Entry

Another compelling and perfect Tony Hillerman read.

interesting story

Chee and Leaphorn both get shot in this one. I enjoyed the story but found the female characters a bit lacking. Guidall also has a way of voicing the female characters that makes them sound annoying rather than compelling.

2 agents down!

I enjoy the mood of Hillerman’s Leaphorn/Chee stories. Set against the beauty of the desert Southwest, murder takes on an exotic element.
