About the Author
Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America, Tony Hillerman has been one of the country's most popular writers for three decades. He has won so many awards it is hard to keep track of them all, from MWA's Edgar for Best Mystery to the Western Writers of America's Spur Award for Best Westerns. Though he is internationally known for his mystery series featuring Navajo detectives Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, Hillerman is also the author of a number of non-fiction books about his beloved Southwest, including the classic The Great Taos Bank Robbery. Hillerman's professional background includes many years as a journalist and a stint in academia which includes Journalism Department head at the university of New Mexico where he was also a vice president for a time.
From the Inside Flap
Tony Hillerman's Navajo mysteries have won him a legion of fans and a study full of awards as well as a great deal of personal satisfaction. Over the years, Navajo artist Ernest Franklin has become more and more identified with him. Their first collaboration was the publication of Hillerman's short story, Chee's Witch, in 1988 in an early issue of Native Peoples magazine. Since then Franklin has illustrated many books and articles, including the children's book Buster Mesquite's Cowboy Band.

Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. First Edition. The true first edition (stated on copyright page with the number line on the second to last page ending in the number "1") of the author's first book and the first Joe Leaphorn. Dampstaining to back of bottom of dustwrapper (not evident from front). Dustwrapper shows one 1/3" closed tear to top of front panel and scuffing to top of spine. Overall, the book and purple dustwrapper show as "tight and clean" (especially in the mylar protector). Might be a printer's copy, because it has technical information on type-setting written on the ffep. in pencil. A very respectable copy at a "respectable" price. Laid in is a bookplate inscribed to me by the late Mr. Hillerman. Signed Bookplate. Seller Inventory # 007110
