Tony Hillerman: The Blessing Way (USA 2019) From the Publisher: Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place -- a corpse with a mouth full of sand -- abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer. There is palpable evil in the air, and Leaphorn's pursuit of a Wolf-Witch leads him where even the bravest men fear, on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder. Tony Hillerman: The Blessing Way. HarperCollins, ISBN: 9780062955593 (October, 2019), 288 p., $10.00.

Tony Hillerman: The Blessing Way (UK 1970) From the Publisher: To Joe Leaphorn of the Law and Order Division, gossip about the Navajo Wolf spreading among the Red Forehead Clan meant a threat -- potential trouble of the sort he was hired to prevent. But to Luis Horseman, chanting to the Talking God on the rimrock above Many Ruins Canyon, the Navajo Wolf was real and terrible. Luis was on the run and now this big man with the wolf skin denied him his safe hiding place. Then they found Luis's body -- its mouth filled with sand -- and the talk of witchcraft took on a new dimension. For one of Horseman's young kinsmen, it became a matter of revenge. For Joe Leaphorn, it became an urgent and baffling challenge to his logic. This is an amazing first novel, which makes the echoing canyons and the empty deserts of the Navajo Reservation immediate to every reader and which makes the magic and mystery of The People terrifying and fascinating. Tony Hillerman: The Blessing Way. A tale of murder and detection among the Navajo Indians. London: Macmillan, 1970, 201 p., £1.25.
