When Acting Lt. Jim Chee calches a Hopi
poacher huddled over a butchered
M Navajo Tribal police olficer, he has an open and-shut case-until his former boss, Joe Leaphorn, blows it wide open. Now retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, Leaphorn has been hired to find a hot-headed female biologist hunting for the key to a virulent plague lurking in the Southwest. The scientist disappeared from the same area the same day the Navajo cop was murdered. Is she a suspect or another victim? And what about a report that a skinwalker-a Navajo witch-was seen at the same time and place too? For Leaphorn and Chee, the answers lie buried in a complicated knot of superstition and science, in a place where the worlds of native peoples and outside forces converge and collide.
Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police joins forces with a retired Joe Leaphorn to investigate the murder of a young police officer, the disappearance of a female biologist, and a virulent outbreak of bubonic plague
