But Chee survives to join partner Lt. Joe Leaphorn in a frightening investigation that takes them into a dark world of ritual, witchcraft, and blood -- all tied to the elusive and evil "skinwalker." Brimming with Navajo lore and sizzling suspense, Skinwalkers brings Chee and Leaphorn, Hillerman's bestselling detective team, together for the first time. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An attempted cop killing sets off this interesting storyJim Chee barely escapes becoming the fourth of a string of strange homicides plaguing the NTP.

One of the best novels from one of the most brilliant writers of the past 35 years. VERY highly recommended! Rating:  - a nice quick readThis is the first in this series that I've read and I enjoyed it. It's a quick read and surprising. I've heard other books in the series are better and I'd like to read them and see for myself.
