The Fallen Man

by Tony Hillerman

Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, are thrown together again to solve a mystery --- solving the 10 year old death of a man found dead on Shiprock Mountain.  Unfortunately, snipers kill a harmless old canyon guide, and tries to kill anyone else who might care about solving the case.

I like Tony Hillerman books. The crimes are usually second to the descriptions of Native American and Southern Colorado ways of life.  Especially interesting is learning about the different beliefs within different tribes. I've learned that I wouldn't survive long in the desert.
