While investigating a murder on the Navajo Reservation in the Southwestern  US, Navajo Police Officer Joseph Leaphorn encounters what appear to be ritualistic elements linked to Navajo beliefs.   Meanwhile, Leaphorn’s friend, anthropologist Bergen McKee, while visiting the Navajo Nation for his research on witches, becomes entangled in a particularly challenging series of events in the canyons. This novel, first in the Navajo Tribal Police series, blends elements of danger and adventure and a compelling mystery with depictions of Navajo culture, landscape, and spirituality

The Navajo Nation awarded Hillerman the title of Special Friend to the Diné, and his love of the people and the country they inhabit shines through in this book.

Two spaces are reserved for new WICE members. If no new WICE members have registered seven days before the event, those two spaces will become available to the general WICE membership.
