Items related to Dark Wind
The corpse had been "scalped," its palms and soles removed after death. Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police knows immediately he will have his hands full with this case -- a certainty that is supported by the disturbing occurrences to follow. A mysterious nighttime plane crash, a vanishing shipment of cocaine, and a bizarre attack on a windmill only intensify Chee's fears. A dark and very ill wind is blowing through the Southwestern desert, a gale driven by Navajo sorcery and white man's greed. And it will sweep away everything unless Chee can somehow change the weather.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 400 g; (10), 214 pages, in original Gollancz red hardcover binding, with Gollancz yellow Thriller dustjacket. Very faint smudge mark on the top edge of the text block, otherwise in near fine condition for the book and the dustjacket. Jim Chee, whose remarkable skills have already been revealed in People of Darkness, again unravels a singularly complex case -- or rather a series of interlocking cases. As a Navajo, he is conditioned to expect analogical, orderly world, but the trouble board will and where the Tribal Police operate, nothing seems logical. -- Front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
