From New York Times bestselling author comes another thrilling mystery featuring Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Sergeant Jim Chee, who must investigate a cold case that has far more personal consequences than expected. Human bones lie on a ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountain, the remains of a murder victim undisturbed for more than a decade. Three hundred miles across the Navajo reservation, a harmless old canyon guide is felled by a sniper’s bullet. Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, believes the shooter and the skeleton are somehow connected and recalls a chilling puzzle he was previously unable to solve. But Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee is too busy to take an interest in a dusty cold case—until the reborn violence of it hits much too close to home.
