Taken from Trekwoman's mom-orium book box.
I always enjoy Tony Hillerman's Navajo novels, starring Lt. Leaphorn. I like that they are simply written, quick to get through, yet convey a lot of meaning into few words. There is usually a lot of humor in them as well, and they tend to be "gentle" in a way.
This one is all of that but more. There is danger and anger and a not-so-gentle searing of some souls.
Two boys go missing. One is Navajo (George) and one is Zuni (Ernesto). Ernesto disappears first, George about a day later. George, younger than Ernesto, was a Navajo boy in a Zuni school, and had no friends other than Ernesto. He was obsessed with becoming a Zuni himself, if that is even possible, so he learns and studies the myths and practices of the Zuni, with Ernesto's help. At the time of his disappearance, Ernesto was in training to be the Little Fire God, a difficult position awarded to special boys.
Leaphorn tracks down George's drunk father, speaks to George's little brother, follows the trail to a nearby commune and to an archaeological dig. None of what he learns adds up and Leaphorn's sense of order is off balance. It takes more sleuthing and tracking until he finally comes upon the solution, and it isn't one that makes anyone happy.
I felt that this novel went above and beyond the other Hillerman novels I have read.
