Human bones lie on a ledge under the top of Shiprock Peak, the remains
of a murder victim undisturbed for more than a decade. Three hundred
miles across the Navajo reservation, a harmless old canyon guide is
felled by a sniper's bullet. Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the
Navajo Tribal Police, believes the shooter and the skeleton are somehow
connected and recalls a chilling puzzle he was previously unable to
solve. But Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee is too busy to take any interest
in a dusty cold case ... until the reborn violence of it hits much too
close to home.
