Edgar Award-winning author Tony Hillerman is in top form in this riveting mystery that reflects the shimmering colors of the Southwest and the musical lore of the Navajo nation. As lawman Jim Chee works his territory, the crime he investigates requires both ancient wisdom and a healthy dose of modern forensic techniques. A shootout erupts between two strangers at the Shiprock Wash-O-Mat. One man dies and the other drives off, but not before showing old Joseph Joe a photograph of the man he is looking for. As Chee follows the clues from a corpse, to a ghost in limbo, to the mean streets of Los Angeles, veteran narrator George Guidall provides the perfect voice - evoking the spirit of Navajo culture while injecting life into each fascinating character. Presented on four cassettes. Unabridged. 7.25 hrs. A Borders Audio Exclusive presentation; Recorded Books.
