Don’t miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+!
From a brilliant new voice comes a brilliant new epic fantasy saga of war, prophecy, betrayal, history, and destiny.
When Acting Lt. Jim Chee catches a Hopi poacher huddled over a butchered Navajo Tribal police officer, he has an open-and-shut case—until his former boss, Joe Leaphorn, blows it wide open. Now retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, Leaphorn has been hired to find a hotheaded female biologist hunting for the key to a virulent plague lurking in the Southwest. The scientist disappeared from the same area the same day the Navajo cop was murdered. Is she a suspect or another victim? And what about a report that a skinwalker—a Navajo witch—was seen at the same time and place too? For Leaphorn and Chee, the answers lie buried in a complicated knot of superstition and science, in a place where the worlds of native peoples and outside forces converge and collide.
When Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee catches a Hopi man huddled over the bloodied body of a young Navajo Tribal Police officer, it looks like an open-and-shut case until Joe Leaphorn shows up. Now retired from the Navajo PD, he's been hired to find a hot-headed female biologist who vanished from the remote area the day the cop was murdered. Is she a suspect or a victim? And what are Chee and Leaphorn to make of the report that a skinwalker-a Navajo witch- was seen in the area at the time? In an ingeniously plotted tale that combines treachery, Native American lore, and the most virulent plague outbreak since the Middle Ages,The First Eagle is Hillerman at his storytelling best.
