Skeleton Man - Tony Hillerman (CD)
Title: R is for Ricochet Title: Skeleton Man Author: Tony Hillerman Genre: Fiction / Thriller / Suspense Format: CD 6 CDs 6 Hrs. (Unabridged) Synopsis: Since his retirement from the Navajo Tribal Police, former lieutenant Joe Leaphorn is running out of stories to tell at the weekly coffee klatches with his buddies. That is until he gets sucked into helping investigate what at first seems to be a simple trading post robbery. The simple-minded kid nailed for the crime is related to a former colleague of Joe's, and he needs help. Sergeant Jim Chee and his fianc Bernie are also on the case, which turns into a search for the remains of a passenger on one of the planes that went down into the Grand Canyon 50 years ago. That passenger happened to have handcuffed to his wrist an attach case filled with a fortune in diamonds - one of which turned up in the robbery. Lots of bad guys are looking for the gems, and it's a race to the finish during a monsoon in the canyon to see who will survive and who will be brought to justice. Review: Publisher's Weekly In MWA Grandmaster Hillerman's sterling 17th Chee/Leaphorn novel, a 1956 collision between passenger planes high above the Grand Canyon leaves a courier's arm and attached diamond-filled security case unaccounted for after almost half a century. Enter retired Navajo Tribal Police Lt. Joe Leaphorn, who must try to connect the dots between an old robbery involving a valuable diamond and a more recent crime involving another diamond, both of which may somehow be related to the plane-crash jewels. The puzzle soon draws in fellow Navajo officer Sgt. Jim Chee and former cop Bernie Manuelito, Chee's soon-to-be bride. Billy Tuve, a cousin of Chee's lawman buddy Cowboy Dashee, is arrested after trying to pawn a gem believed to have come from the more recent robbery. Dashee enlists Chee's help to verify Tuve's story of a mysterious old man who gave him the jewel during a journey to a canyon-bottom shrine. But the good guys soon learn there are plenty more people in the hunt, and some will stop at nothing to get what they're after. The stakes are high and the danger escalates clear through to the final pages. Hillerman continues to shine as the best of the West. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
