"Hillerman is a wonderful storyteller."--New York Times Book
Review
Two Native American boys have vanished into thin air, leaving a pool of
blood behind them. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police
has no choice but to suspect the very worst, since the blood that stains
the parched New Mexico ground once flowed through the veins of one of
the missing, a young Zuñi. But his investigation into a terrible crime
is being complicated by an important archaeological dig . . . and a
steel hypodermic needle. And the unique laws and sacred religious rites
of the Zuñi people are throwing impassable roadblocks in Leaphorn's
already twisted path, enabling a craven murderer to elude justice or,
worse still, kill again.
