About this ebook

Don’t miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+!

The sixth installment in New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn and Chee series—an electrifying thriller of revenge, secrets, and murder.

“One of the best of the series.”—New York Times Book Review

Old Joseph Joe sees it all. Two strangers spill blood at the Shiprock Wash-O-Mat. One dies. The other drives off into the dry lands of the Big Reservation, but not before he shows the old Navajo a photo of the man he seeks.

This is all Tribal Policeman Jim Chee needs to set him off on an odyssey that moves from a trapped ghost in an Indian hogan to the seedy underbelly of L.A. to an ancient healing ceremony where death is the cure, and into the dark heart of murder and revenge.

I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. The mix of paranormal potential, a very bad bad guy, and the internal struggle of the protagonist as he wrestles with the decision between love and his culture, all lead to a well rounded and deep "who-done-it". Rich with Navajo lore and "beauty" way of thinking, as well as descriptive geography, weather, and emotions, this book is a must read.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

All Tony Hillerman's books bring the Navajo nation to the forefront of the reader's attention. I enjoy reading the different ceremonies which take place and the vivid description of the country side. For someone who has never been to that region, it makes for a wonderful journey.
