Signed by the author on half-title. Hillerman's 1st novel, introducing Lt. Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police. A victim is discovered in a high lonely place with a mouth full of sand in a crime scene devoid of clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer. There is palpable evil in the air, and Leaphorn's pursuit of a Wolf-Witch is leading him where even the bravest men fear, on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder. Fine.
