The Dark Wind — Tony Hillerman

SNOW KILLS...

The vast Indian-owned lands of the Southwest held mysteries the white man's logic could not solve. A dead man's boots left on a dusty trail. A bloody corpse with the palms and soles sliced off. A low-flying plane circling in the night sky before crashing miles from any airstrip.

Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police knows instinctively what these things mean. He also knows how to investigate the white man's crimes better than the Federal agents sent to find a missing cache of cocaine and the dangerous men who hid it. But the dark wind of evil has come to the land of the Hopi and the Navajo, and it is blowing Chee toward a violent confrontation with ancient witchcraft, modern greed, and brutal murder.
