This isn't a "Leaphorn and Chee" novel, but a "Mauelito and Chee" novel. "Manuelito" is Bernadette Manuelito, and she is Jim Chee's wife, both are members of the Navajo Police.

I wasn't sure Anne Hillerman could continue her father's success with these characters, and, with this---her first novel---I'm still not convinced. About halfway through the book I had a good idea who the criminal was.

Still, the novel is a good one and for those of us who enjoyed reading about Leaphorn, Chee, Manuelito and other members of the Navajo Police, it was good to "see" them back in action.
