About This Book
Officer Bernadette Manuelito's day starts out ordinary: she serves a bench warrant, deals with cattle blocking the road, and comes across a crime scene. Then she is asked to help find an old friend. Years earlier, Bernie and Maya were roommates, but Maya's struggles with addiction and the passing of time pulled them apart. Now Maya's brother wants Bernie to find out what has happened to his sister. As Bernie tracks Maya down, she learns that Maya confessed to killing her estranged husband, a prominent astronomer. The details of the confession do not add up, and Bernie, suspicious, looks deeper into the case. What she learns about the astronomer's work leads her to a remote spot on the Navajo Nation and a calculating killer. The investigation opens an unexpected rift between Bernie and her husband, Jim Chee, who is now her acting boss and is convinced she is heading for trouble. Chee has troubles of his own. He has taken on responsibilities he did not ask for and does not want, and he must decide what his future holds. Their mentor, Joe Leaphorn, is also looking to the past for answers about what lies ahead, and both Bernie and Chee may need his guidance. The Navajo heroes of the night sky may help them find justice and the truth. Anne Hillerman, the daughter of Tony Hillerman, continues the Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito series that her father began.
