Publisher Description

Legendary detectives Leaphorn and Chee are pulled into mysteries old and new in this haunting tale of obsessive greed, lost love, and murder from the New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman.

To Officer Bernie Manuelito the man curled on the truck seat was just another drunk—which got Bernie in trouble for mishandling a murder scene—which got Sgt. Jim Chee in trouble with the FBI—which drew ex-Lieutenent Joe Leaphorn out of retirement into an old crime he longed to forget.

Legends of the area's lost gold mines join the mountains and canyons of the Navajo Reservation as elements of Hillerman's plot, but this tale turns on an obsessive love and memories of a missing woman's voice wailing in the darkness.
