But Pinto won't utter a word of confession or denial. He's quickly arrested for homicide and defended by a woman Chee could either love or loathe. Officer Jim Chee's good friend Del lies dead, and a whiskey-soaked Navajo shaman is found with the murder weapon. When two corpses appear amid stolen goods and bones at an ancient burial site, Leaphorn and Chee must plunge into the past to unearth the astonishing truth behind a mystifying series of horrific murders.Īnd in Coyote Waits, it wasn't the car fire that killed Navajo Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez - a bullet did. Chee survives to join partner Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn in a frightening investigation that takes them into a dark world of ritual, witchcraft, and blood - all tied to the elusive and evil 'skinwalker.' In A Thief of Time, a noted anthropologist vanishes at a moonlit Indian ruin where 'thieves of time' ravage sacred ground for profit.

In Skinwalkers, three shotgun blasts explode into the trailer of Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police. This is a must-have anthology from one of the great masters of suspense.
