Having already read all Tony Hillerman's mysteries featuring Navajo policemen Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, I noticed this on the library shelf just after hearing of Hillerman's death. For the most part it has synopses/checklists of the books, which I skipped, but it does include some information on the Navajo and their clan system, plus an interview with Hillerman and three of his short stories -- two featuring the Navajo police and one, First Lead Gasser, that will stay with me a long time.
