Summary: Jim Chee needs to find Tony Hillerman
Comment: I am an ex-cop. I have come to love all the adventures of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, however, this book and the last one seem to have lost the special magic I am use to from a Hillerman novel.
I was very disappointed.
I will always be a hugh fan.
The book is full of publishing errors.

Summary: Once again Jim Chee is on the Case
Comment: Jim Chee has a dead body on his hands, one with no ID, wearing expensive clothes and with empty pockets. If things weren't already complicated enough, the situation worsens when the FBI decides the Navajo Tribal Police aren't able deal with the situation and take over the case. Chee knows that something is rotten in Denmark, and he's not about to let the case go until he finds out who the dead man is and why he was killed.
What he doesn't know is that when alive, the body belonged to a CIA agent sent undercover to the New Mexico portion of the Four Corners to find out how the oil pipeline system is being used to bypass paying royalty money to the First Nations trust fund. The CIA agent suspected there was more to the job than he was told, but he took it job anyway, which turned out to be a bad idea, because it got him killed.
Mr. Hillerman has once delivered a wonderfully complex story that had me reading from cover to cover in one sitting. In this one we see several law enforcement agencies who don't trust each other, we see determined cops, corrupt politicians, men with questionable pasts and we get Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, always a favorite. Plus we get a bit of romance as Jim Chee and former colleague Bernadette Manuelito attempt to come to terms with their relationship in this book that I liked very much.

Summary: A good mystery.
Comment: I had the CD read by George
Guidall who does an excellent job. Many of the other reviewers tell you the plot so I will just give you my impression. I thoroughly enjoyed the book keeping in mind I have read several other books with the characters of Chee and Leaphorn. I liked the suspense and timing of this book. I have no problem with
Bernie being shaken by her ordeal. I really liked the element of Budge's part in the drama and I especially liked the ending.
