Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

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.
