About this product

Product Information

The fourteenth novel featuring Leaphorn and Chee by New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, now reissued in the Premium Plus format. Three men raid the gambling casino run by the Ute nation and then disappear into the maze of canyons on the Utah-Arizona border. When the FBI, with its helicopters and high-tech equipment, focuses on a wounded deputy sheriff as a possible suspect, Navajo Tribal Police Sergeant Jim Chee and his longtime colleague, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, launch an investigation of their own. Chee sees a dangerous flaw in the federal theory; Leaphorn sees intriguing connections to the exploits of a legendary Ute bandit-hero. And together, they find themselves caught up in the most perplexing--and deadly--criminal manhunt of their lives.

ReviewsTony Hillerman is a wonderful storyteller....Surrendering to Hillerman's strong narrative voice and supple storytelling techniques, we come to see that ancieant cultures and modern sciences are simply different mythologies for the same reality., Hillerman returns to his time-tested heroes, Navajo tribal police officer Sergeant Jim Chee and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (retired), for yet another satisfying mystery....Based in part on a real 1998 case, the story concerns the armed robbery of a casino on the Ute reservation....Hillerman is in top form, creating dialogue that will bring listeners into real sympathy with the people and proceedings described., Plenty of action and surprises, along with dynamic central characters struggling to live in the modern world without sacrificing their culture., Complex, engrossing...On their own, (Leaphorn and Chee) are compeling; as a duo they 're the best since Lennon and McCartney."

  • Hunting Badger is a outstanding book based on true events in the Four Corners.

    Hunting Badger is based on the true story of the Dale Claxton Murder and the Four Corners Manhunt. Anyone living in Durango and the Four Corners witnessed the events and many knew the characters involved. This was more than just reading a book. The events Hillerman wrote about were personal to me. The book is outstanding as is the book merchant who handled my order.

  • You’re showing the book with the dust jacket in the photo but the hardcover book arrived without the dust jacket. It’s disappointing.
