Description

The blind shaman called Listening Woman speaks of witches and restless spirits, of supernatural evil unleashed. But Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police is sure the monster who cruelly slaughtered a teen-age girl and a classic man was individual. The clear answer to some terrible transgression is hidden someplace in a dead-man's strategies and within the surprising events of one hundred years previous. To disregard the warnings of the seer, nevertheless, may be careless foolishness when Leaphorn's analysis brings him further from the understandable.
