Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Tony Hillerman is an Edgar, Silver Spur and Nero Wolfe Award winner. Skeleton Man received starred reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly.

Former Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn comes out of retirement to investigate a simple robbery. But soon the trail leads back 50 years, to a plane crash in the Grand Canyon that killed a man protecting a fortune in diamonds.

"...considerable suspense in the race to bottom of one of the most spectacular and treacherous landscapes Hillerman's ever explored."-Kirkus Reviews

To my mind, the story is not among Hillerman’s best. Among other issues, it includes a lot of repetition. However, with such a fine reading, I was content to wade through even the less interesting passages.

George Guidall is a fantastic reader

Hillerman weaves his yarns through the blended cultures of white man’s law and the Navaho ideal of Walking in Beauty. Timeless storytelling.
