A book my husband got in an airport to get him through a long trip, and which he says he doesn't remember. So, from the back of the book:
Seargent Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police is troubled by the nameless corpse discovered just inside his jurisdiction, at the edge of the Jicarilla Apache natural gas field. More troubling still is the FBI's insistence that the Bureau take over the case, calling the unidentified victim's death a "hunting accident."
But if a hunter was involoved, Chee knows the prey was intentionally human. This belief is shared by the "Legendary Lieutenant" Joe Leaphorn, who once again is pulled out of retirement by the possibility of serious wrongs being committede against the Navavjo nation by the Washington bureacracy. Yet it is former policewoman Bernadette Manuelito, recently relocated to Customs Patrol at the U.S. - Mexico border, who possibly holds the key to a fiendishly twisted conspiracy of greed, lies and murder - and whose only hope for survival now rests in the hands of friends too far away for comfort.
