An investigation at the intersection of police work and Navajo legend

The attack on Officer Jim Chee’s trailer draws him and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn into a wider inquiry linking an assault on a fellow officer with a series of murders on the reservation. The case brings police investigation into contact with questions of ritual, witchcraft, and the Navajo tradition of skinwalkers. As the seventh Leaphorn and Chee novel, the book pairs its crime-mystery framework with cultural and supernatural subject matter, making the investigation’s connection to legend central to its premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

Don't miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+!

From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, Skinwalkers is the seventh novel featuring Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee--a riveting tale of sorcery, secrets, and murder.

Three shotgun blasts rip through the side of Officer Jim Chee's trailer as the Navajo Tribal Policeman sleeps. He survives, but the inexplicable attack has raised disturbing questions about a lawman once beyond reproach.

Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn wonders why Chee was a target and what connection the assault has to a series of gruesome murders that has been plaguing the reservation. But the investigation is leading them both into a nightmare of ritual, witchcraft, and blood . . . and into the dark and mystical domain of evil beings of Navajo legend, the "skinwalkers."
