15th in the series with Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police and still with that amazing way of bringing to life such remote territory. A man is found shot in his pickup truck a long way from anywhere, but there are threads tying him to a long ago murder and disappearance. In the last book I thought new readers might be better off starting earlier in the series, but in this one I feel he really showed the relationship between the two men without needing those prior books. It's a rather sad ending although the reader (and of course the detectives) are expecting it. Officer Bernadette Manuelito starts to have a bigger role now.
