From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman comes another thrilling mystery featuring Leaphorn & Chee who encounter a bizarre case that borders between the supernatural and murder--now available in a limited Olive Edition.
"Brilliant...as fascinating as it is original."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place--a corpse with a mouth full of sand--abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful 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 leads him where even the bravest men fear, on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder.
