An ancient mystery resurfaces with ramifications for the present day in this gripping chapter in the Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series from New York Times bestselling author Anne Hillerman.

Discovering why he died and who was responsible involves Chee in an investigation that puts his own life at risk.
