This book is the third in Hillerman's Leaphorn/Chee series...although Leaphorn isn't in it, so you could call it the first in the Sgt Jim Chee series. It's been a long time since I read this and I didn't remember that Hillerman starts out by calling him Jimmy Chee. In this book, Chee has been accepted by the FBI and is trying to decide if he really wants the job. He is asked privately by a wealthy woman to find a box that was stolen from her husband's safe. Then the husband comes back and says don't bother, and here's some money for your trouble. Chee knows the man is lying and there's a connection to truck bombing earlier in the year. Hillerman always does a good job describing the vast distances and vistas of the desert areas, as well as the culture of the Navajo people. The motive is fairly obvious, but no matter, it's a nice fast-paced story.
