The Sinister Pig

The Barnes & Noble Review
Corruption is the name of the game in this dynamic mystery in New York Times-bestselling author Tony Hillerman's critically acclaimed Joe Leaphorn & Jim Chee series. When a man with two identities is found dead on the Navajo Reservation, it's clear his recent interest in the pipelines on tribal land has proven unhealthy.but no one knows why. Near-legendary retired investigator Joe Leaphorn, tenacious tribal cop Jim Chee, and fledgling Border Patrol officer Bernadette "Bernie" Manuelito each have a piece of the puzzle. The question is, can they put together the whole picture before this complex case turns even more deadly? Like its predecessors, this stellar addition to Hillerman's compelling Southwestern mystery series captures the sophistications of Navajo culture even as it illuminates the dilemmas of a society caught between tradition and the pressures of the "outside world."
