Retirement has never sat well with former Navajo Tribal
Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn. Now the ghosts of a
still-unsolved case are returning to haunt him, reawakened
by a photograph in a magazine spread of a one-of-a-kind
Navajo rug, a priceless work of woven art that was
supposedly destroyed in a suspicious fire many years
earlier. The rug, commemorating one of the darkest and most
terrible chapters in American history, was always said to be
cursed, and now the friend who brought it to Leaphorn's
attention has mysteriously gone missing.
With newly
wedded officers Jim Chee and Bernie Manuelito just back from
their honeymoon, the legendary ex-lawman is on his own to
pick up the threads of a crime he'd once thought impossible
to untangle. And they're leading him back into a world of
lethal greed, shifting truths, and changing faces, where a
cold-blooded killer still resides.
