While I enjoyed this mystery thriller featuring Jim Chee, I found the solution fairly easy to figure out long before Chee did. ( ) Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Teibal Police finds a pair of boots in the rabbit bush beside a wilderness trail. The boots’ owner lies nearby, his palms and feet “scalped.” The federal investigators tell Chee to mind his own business. However, a dangerous web of intrigue spun by Navajo sorcery and white greed. The Dark Wind is an excellent suspenseful story. Jim Chee's slow, but thorough investigation once again pays off in discovering who was murdered and who did it. The setting is well described. The characters are all believable. This book is highly recommended and deserves the four stars in this review. no reviews | add a review
