From New York Times bestselling author comes another thrilling mystery featuring Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Sergeant Jim Chee, who must investigate a cold case that
has far more personal consequences than expected.
Human bones lie on a ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountain, the remains of a murder victim undisturbed for more than a decade. Three hundred miles across the Navajo reservation, a harmless old
canyon guide is felled by a sniper’s bullet.
Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, believes the shooter and the skeleton are somehow connected and recalls a chilling puzzle he was previously unable to solve. But Acting
Lieutenant Jim Chee is too busy to take an interest in a dusty cold case—until the reborn violence of it hits much too close to home.

“George Guidall achieves a unity with Hillerman’s work that makes this audiobook quite exceptional. He draws listeners into the story with an intimacy as if speaking directly to each one. He projects the internal narrative that reflects the struggle between the Navajo and Anglo cultures…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“The Fallen Man is brisk, beautiful, funny, and poignant—as good a place as any for first-timers to plunge into Hillerman Country.” —Amazon.com
“Environmentalism and the survival of Native American culture are strong themes.” —School Library Journal
