In 1970 Tony Hillerman wrote his first book which was also the first of the Leaphorn and we have in the following books-frequent and vivid descriptions of the beauty of the reservation lands, well done data dumps on Indian mythology, a good mystery, solid poking of ridicule at federal law enforcement agents, characters fleshed out with depth and breadth and what really hooks me-a generous helping of heart. By the end of the the series the books ran out of steam but entries two through eleven are ones I will probably continue rereading every few years for the rest of my life. I believe that Tony Hillerman is Navajo and he also does a lot of Research on his books so you get a-good view of the Navajo life and I have been there and it is a different world from the USA. When you read these 3 in 1 books you are stepping into another world.
