  • 9780060763640
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • CD MYS HIL 
Performed by George Guidall.Summary: Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police is investigating the murder of a fellow officer--apparently committed by a young Hopi poaching eagles for ceremonial purposes. Chee's former mentor, Joe Leaphorn, is now retired and on his first case as a private detective, looking for a missing biologist who has been studying the spread of infectious diseases on the reservation. The men's destinies intersect once more in this case in which clues, like eagles, can only be found and understood by those who belong to the world of the reservation. Hillerman communicates a sense of the great space, beauty, and physical hardship of the desert landscape, and of the character of the people who live there. The mystery is set against a cultural backdrop of conflicts between Navajo and Hopi, Tribal and FBI law enforcement, sheep camp and city Navajo, and government and academic scientists studying disease outbreaks. The solution to the murder mystery comes stunningly into focus once the clues are all present and understood--but sadly (and true to life), the larger question of justice on the reservation, like the fate of the first eagle, is left unresolved.
