A travel thru NewMexico/Arizona to places off the beaten path while being gripped by great stories of people you’d like to know. Love ‘em!!

Reading all Hillerman books is like coming home. Anne has kept the Nation alive and the TV series, Dark Winds, is one of the best I have ever seen in the translation of this place in the world. The characters are perfectly represented. Do not miss this series. Meet Joe Leaphorn and these books brought to life.

I am glad that Anne has continued writing about the world her father Tony introduced. I like how the main characters lives have developed over the years. I love the sharing of the Navajo culture and its rich history. I never tired of the police work Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito get involved with. I like how Anne has continued to weave their lives together. I look forward to reading more stories about them and their families. Your books are a truly enjoyable. Thank you!

Always love the return of all the memorable character and the descriptions of the area and traditions. This one had to many sub plots I felt that i began to lose track of who and what .

Joe Leaphorn a retired Lieutenant from the Navajo Tribal Police now works as a private detective. His newest case is finding the birth parents of a women raised by a white family but believes is is also part Navajo. These children are referred to as Lost Birds. Then Joe receives a call from a janitor who works at a school named Cecil Bowleg about his missing wife. While on the phone an explosion occurs and Cecil’s body is not found. What ensues is a remarkable tale of deceit, deep family mysteries and non stop action!!! Another stupendous read in this series!! My highest recommendation!!
