This is definitely my favorite of the Joe Leaphorn mysteries I've read. Great suspense, memorable villains, great descriptions of the desert canyon country that is the setting for the book.
I listened to an older edition, George Guidall was, sadly not the narrator.4 stars for the book, 2 for the performance.
