In his Chee/Leaphorn series, best-selling author and recipient of the Navajo Tribe's Special Friend Award, Tony Hillerman, magically combines Navajo lore and modern American culture. In The Fallen Man, he brings Leaphorn out of retirement to join Chee in solving one of his most chilling mysteries to date.

When a human skeleton is discovered on sacred Navajo land, the publicity surrounding the find sets in motion a widespread investigation and a series of attempted murders. After a Washington group hires Leaphorn to investigate the "fallen man's" past, he joins Chee in unraveling a deadly intrigue that finally involves players from both the FBI and a suspicious corporation.

Sensitive insight into Navajo culture and intricate storytelling explain why Hillerman's tales are best sellers. Guidall's dramatic, well-paced narration makes clear why each release in the Leaphorn/Chee series attracts a wider audience.

Hillerman is a fine writer, and I enjoyed Fallen Man. At the end, it seemed like there were some loose ends that begged for more information i.e Janet's going home, and the capture of the cattle rustling brand inspector. Hillerman's description of Navajo country is beautiful, and the description of the arrival of the first winter storm was exquisite. If it was possible, I rate Fallen Man at 4 1/2 stars......

Wonderful but with some loose ends!

Leaphorn and Chee team up to solve yet another murder mystery, a tangled group of loose threads at the beginning that comes together in an elegant knot by the end. Add in personal issues and retirement complications, and it makes a great listen.

Also very good to have the original narrator back.

Another great addition to the collection

Not much to say when George Guidall reads Tony Hillerman. Flawless from start to finish. Both are the best in their business.

… and he certainly captures the local flavor and nuances of the four corners area and beyond. Chee and Leaphorn continue to be champion investigators in the same spirit as Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Perot… Except with their incomparable Dine’ insouciance. I love George Guidell as a narrator, but is Western cadence doesn’t mean he has all the southwestern accents and so I only wish as a native New Mexican and someone who has practiced law in Navajo Country, we had somebody with a greater range of the local dialect and accented patois.

Tony Hillerman rarely disappoints…
