traditions and modern civilization that has shaped its present and will determine its future
has produced a body of work unique in mystery fiction.- San Diego Union-TribuneLegendary
detectives Leaphorn and Chee are pulled into mysteries old and new in this haunting tale of
obsessive greed lost love and murder from the national literary and cultural sensation (Los
Angeles Times)-New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman. Officer Bernadette Manuelito
finds the dead man slumped over in the cab of a pickup with a rich ex-con's phone number in
his pocket . . . and a tobacco tin filled with placer gold. She figures he's just another
drunk-an assumption that gets her in trouble for mishandling a crime scene and brings down the
wrath of the FBI on her supervisor Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police. For Chee's
mentor former Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn the death eerily echoes a long dormant cold case. Years
earlier Leaphorn followed the trail of a beautiful young and missing wife to a dead end and
the failure to close that investigation has haunted him ever since. This new case could lead to
the truth and the legendary lawman comes out of retirement determined to solve it. But ghosts
never sleep in these high lonely Southwestern hills. For Bernie Leaphorn and Chee the
twisted threads of craven murders past and current may finally be coming together as the
desert gives up its secrets . . . secrets heard in the wailing wind.
