Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060164786, Hardcover)

In People of Darkness, Hillerman's first novel to introduce Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police, Chee is forced to use all of his powers of deduction and insight to extricated himself from a deadly series of incidences involving a mysterious millionaire, a sinister, peyote-eating Indian cult, and what the New York Times called "an ingenious long-acting way of murder." In The Dark Wind, a seemingly routine stakeout at a vandalized windmill thrusts Chee into the center of a dangerous web of drugs, witchcraft, and betrayal. And in The Ghostways, a felon relocated under the Federal Witness Relocation Program sets off a chain of treachery and killings, and only Chee has the knowledge of the people and the landscape to understand the clues.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0517092816, Hardcover)

Three powerful mysteries are compiled in one volume, all featuring Navajo Tribal Policeman Jim Chee. People of Darkness asks questions of cultural identity and tribal beliefs. Set in the southwestern Bad Country, a bloodthirsty assassin waits to prevent the revelation of 30-year-old secrets. The Dark Wind is filled with Navajo sorcery and white man's greed. After Chee is barred from following up on a multimillion-dollar drug case, he discovers that a vandalism incident and a murder may be tied to the case. The Ghostway includes a healing ceremony whose cure could be death. Follow an odyssey of murder and revenge that moves from a traditional Navajo dwelling to contemporary Los Angeles.
