Don't miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, &
Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+!
Navajo Tribal cops Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito, and their
mentor, the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, investigate two
perplexing cases in this exciting Southwestern mystery from the New
York Times bestselling author of Spider Woman's Daughter.
Doing a good deed for a relative offers the perfect opportunity for
Sergeant Jim Chee and his wife, Officer Bernie Manuelito, to get away
from the daily grind of police work. But two cases will call them back
from their short vacation and separate them--one near Shiprock, and the
other at iconic Monument Valley.
Chee follows a series of seemingly random and cryptic clues that lead to
a missing woman, a coldblooded suspect, and a mysterious mound of dirt
and rocks that could be a gravesite. Bernie has her hands full managing
the fallout from a drug bust gone wrong, uncovering the origins of a
fire in the middle of nowhere, and looking into an ambitious solar
energy development with long-ranging consequences for Navajo land.
Under the guidance of their mentor, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn,
Bernie and Chee will navigate unexpected obstacles and confront the
greatest challenge yet to their skills, commitment, and courage.
