This volume presents three of Tony Hillerman's outstanding and highly acclaimed mysteries, all featuring Navajo Tribal Police Lt. Joe Leaphorn, one of the genre's most insightful and intriguing sleuths.
The Blessing Way
When Lt. Joe Leaphorn and his friend Bergen McKee investigate rumours of Navajo sorcery for McKee's anthropological research, they discover a series of inexplicably grisly murders. Leaphorn's hunt for the killer then follows a chilling trail between mysticism and murder.
Dance Hall of the Dead
Leaphorn is assigned to track down a missing Navajo youth whose Zuni friend was found brutally murdered. With thousands of square miles of desert before him and only his keen sense of reason as a guide, Leaphorn's search unearths a deadly secret and a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to keep it hidden.
Listening Woman
The murder of a terminally ill old man and a teenage girl on a desolate mesa has the state police and the FBI baffled. The blind Navajo, Listening Woman, speaks of ghosts and witches. Leaphorn's uncanny powers of detection and his knowledge of the ways of his people lead him into a fanatical, century-old plot and the most violent confrontation of his career.
