Tony Hillerman fans rejoice! Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee are back and better than ever -- and the same can be said of their creator who can conjure up the Southwest's stark beauty, take you into the intricacies of Navajo culture, and give you a gripping mystery at the same time.
In The Fallen Man, the discovery of the bones of a man who disappeared 11 years earlier brings Leaphorn out of retirement to investigate a case that had baffled him so long ago. Jim Chee, now a lieutenant himself in the Navajo Police and still bedeviled by problems of the heart, is on the case too.
Gil Silverbird, a fine narrator of Hillerman novels, gets all the voices right.
