Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman comes another thrilling mystery featuring Leaphorn & Chee who encounter a bizarre case that borders between the supernatural and murder—now available in a limited Olive Edition. “Brilliant…as fascinating as it is original.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place—a corpse with a mouth full of sand—abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer. There is palpable evil in the air, and Leaphorn's pursuit of a Wolf-Witch leads him where even the bravest men fear, on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder.
