(1999)(audio)Read this book in 2001, but seemed like a new book on audio. Very good tale of a casino robbery that turns to murder with warring neighbors as the adversaries. Both Chee and Leaphorn find women of interest from unexpected direction.

Another good Jim Chee/Joe Leaphorn mystery

I love this series and try to choose a title that is set where I am traveling and this was perfect. I loved learning about the mining industry in southeast Utah. Hillerman also explores the conflicts among the various peoples - various Native American tribes, ranchers, newcomers and law enforcement. ( )

Some editing problems, but I am willing to overlook them because it's a good story with characters that are favorites of mine. ( )

Three men raid the gambling casino run by the Ute nation and then disappear into the maze of canyons on the Utah-Arizona border. When the FBI, with its helicopters and high-tech equipment, focuses on a wounded deputy sheriff as a possible suspect, Navajo Tribal Police Sergeant Jim Chee and his longtime colleague, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, launch an investigation of their own. Chee sees a dangerous flaw in the federal theory; Leaphorn sees intriguing connections to the exploits of a legendary Ute bandit-hero. And together, they find themselves caught up in the most perplexing—and deadly—criminal manhunt of their lives. ( )
