Don't miss the TV series, Dark Winds , based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+! From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman comes another unforgettable mystery in which Leaphorn & Chee must race against the clock to solve two brutal murders. "[Hillerman's] clowns are . . . every bit as raucous, profane, and funny as Shakespeare's."-- New York Times Book Review During a kachina ceremony at the Tano Pueblo, the antics of a dancing koshare fill the air with tension. Moments later, the clown is found bludgeoned to death, in the same manner a reservation schoolteacher was killed only days before. Officer Jim Chee and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn believe that answers lie in the sacred clown's final cryptic message to the Tano people. But to decipher it, the two Navajo policemen may have to delve into closely guarded tribal secrets--on a sinister trail of blood that links a runaway, a holy artifact, corrupt Indian traders, and a pair of dead bodies.

The service was excellent, and, of course, I love the book. I knew I would already because I have yet to read a book by Tony Hillerman that I don't love.

Another great story
In this book Lt. Joe Leaphorn has not yet retired from the Navajo tribal police, and officer Jim Chee has been working for the lieutenant for only one week. Hillerman weaves a story of a hit-and-run of a pedestrian (who dies) and two other murders that happen within a day of one another, although over twenty miles apart, with a tribal ceremony, a mission school, a group wanting to use an old abandoned mine on the Navajo reservation for a toxic dump site, a love story between Chee and a Navajo public defender by the name of Janet Pete , another love story between Leaphorn and professor Louisa Bourebonette, and Chee learning how to work with Leaphorn. The story doesn't start to unravel till almost the last chapter, and you are kept on the edge of your chair till the last three pages as to "who done it". A well written, believable story.
