In this fourteenth novel featuring Navajo Tribal Policemen Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Sergeant Jim Chee, three men raid the gambling casino run by the Ute nation and then disappear into the maze of canyons on the Utah-Arizona border.
When the FBI, with its helicopters and high-tech equipment, focuses on a wounded deputy sheriff as a possible suspect, Sergeant Jim Chee and his longtime colleague, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, launch an investigation of their own.
Chee sees a dangerous flaw in the federal theory; Leaphorn sees intriguing connections to the exploits of a legendary Ute bandit–hero. And together, they find themselves caught up in the most perplexing—and deadly—criminal manhunt of their lives.
