About this listen

Two Native American boys have vanished into thin air, leaving a pool of blood behind them. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police has no choice but to suspect the very worst, since the blood that stains the parched New Mexican ground once flowed through the veins of one of the missing, a young ZuNi. But his investigation into a terrible crime is being complicated by an important archaeological dig and a steel hypodermic needle. And the unique laws and sacred religious rites of the ZuNi people are throwing impassable roadblocks in Leaphorn's already twisted path, enabling a craven murderer to elude justice or, worse still, to kill again.

A great read. Interesting story, good cultural details, and great narrator. I only wish the third book in the series was available.

Hopi Ceremonies

Loved this book. I really enjoyed learning about the Hopi culture George Guidall, the narrator, brought it to life.

One of the best

I read this book many years ago when it was first published. Tony Hillerman brings the landscape to life as a character in his books. And George Guidall is the best narrator of Hillerman's books. I love this book.

better than when I read it

Hillerman was the best. combined with Guidall's narration and you have near perfection. I read them so long ago, they were fresh and very engrossing. Listen to one if you read them long ago, you will not be disappointed.

Enjoyed the narration.

The narration did a great job bringing the story to life. The story elements appeared to be well researched and the story was cohedive.

Great pictures of the Southwest

Tony Hillerman weaves great pictures of the Southwest as he draws us into his 2nd Leaphorn mystery. This time, we learn the story of two boys, raised by different tribes but connected by being sent to the same school. Joe Leaphorn must unravel the mystery connected to this relationship and try to save lives in the process, while encumbered by the differences in White, Zuni, and Navajo cultures and laws.

Loved it!

it is a wonderful story. I loved how the author delved into Navajo (Deni) and Zuni religion. He explained their thinking and reactions via his characters in the storyline. I enjoyed the Narrator.
