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 in this puzzling murder mystery who savagely slaughtered an old man and a teenage girl was human.

Now the solution to a horrific crime is buried somewhere in a dead man’s secrets―and in the shocking events of a hundred years past. To ignore the warnings of a venerable seer, however, might be reckless foolishness as Leaphorn’s investigation in this classic Navajo mystery leads him farther away from the comprehensible . . . and closer to the most brutally violent confrontation of his career.
