Abstract

"Skinwalkers teams up Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police in an investigation that leads into the dark world of Navajo witchcraft. Three unsolved homicides are plaguing Leaphorn, crimes with no apparent motives. With the attempted murder of Chee, a hint of witchcraft enters the picture. Is a Navajo "skinwalker" — one who has turned away from the harmony of the Navajo Way to assume terrible dark powers — killing people? Or are the victims themselves practitioners of witchcraft? Leaphorn is confronted with that part of Navajo culture — shamanism — he has always rejected, and Chee is forced to accept his colleague's rational skills or possibly lose his own life."--Back cover.
