The car fire didn't kill Navajo Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez—a bullet did. And the old man in possession of the murder weapon is a whiskey-soaked shaman named Ashie Pinto. Officer Jim Chee is devastated by the slaying of his good friend Del, and confounded by the prime suspect's refusal to utter a single word of confession or denial.

All Hillerman's characteristic elements are here: nicely sustained pace without gimics to create suspense, a meandering tour of Dineh geography, and Leaphorn & Chee's observant, analytical minds. I've read these all out of order, so it was fun to see them circling each other warily in this book, not yet accomplices so measuring each other's virtues and vices. There are also some interesting subplots here related to the insufficiency of translation and the ongoing settler-colonialism of academia.
