"For the many enthusiastic fans of Tony Hillerman's previous mystery
novels . . . only one thing needs to be said: Talking God is the best
one yet!" -- USA Today
From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, Talking God
is the ninth novel featuring beloved characters Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn
and Office Jim Chee
Reunited by a grave robber and a corpse, Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant
Joe Leaphorn is trying to determine the identity of a murder victim,
while Officer Jim Chee is arresting Smithsonian conservator Henry
Highhawk for ransacking the sacred bones of his ancestors.
But with each peeled-back layer, it becomes shockingly clear that these
two cases are mysteriously connected--and that others are pursuing
Highhawk, with lethal intentions. And the search for answers to a deadly
puzzle is pulling Leaphorn and Chee into the perilous arena of
superstition, ancient ceremony, and living gods.
