The Dark Wind

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind (USA 2019)

From the Publisher:
The corpse had been "scalped," its palms and soles removed after death. Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police knows immediately he will have his hands full with this case, a certainty that is supported by the disturbing occurrences to follow. A mysterious nighttime plane crash, a vanishing shipment of cocaine, and a bizarre attack on a windmill only intensify Chee's fears. A dark and very ill wind is blowing through the Southwestern desert, a gale driven by Navajo sorcery and white man's greed. And it will sweep away everything unless Chee can somehow change the weather.

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind. A Leaphorn and Chee Novel. Harper Paperbacks, ISBN: 9780062895547 (January, 2019), 320 p., $17.99.

The Dark Wind

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind (USA 1983)

From the Publisher:
SNOW KILLS...
The vast Indian-owned lands of the Southwest held mysteries the white man's logic could not solve. A dead man's boots left on a dusty trail. A bloody corpse with the palms and soles sliced off. A low-flying plane circling in the night sky before crashing miles from any airstrip.

Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police knows instinctively what these things mean. He also knows how to investigate the white man's crimes better than the Federal agents sent to find a missing cache of cocaine and the dangerous men who hid it. But the dark wind of evil has come to the land of the Hopi and the Navajo, and it is blowing Chee toward a violent confrontation with ancient witchcraft, modern greed, and brutal murder.

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind. Avon Books, ISBN: 0380633213 (May, 1983), 214 p., $2.95.

The Dark Wind

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind (UK 1983)

From the Publisher:
Tony Hillerman's Navajo, Indian detective, Jim Chee, whose remarkable skills have already been revealed in People of Darkness, again unravels a singularly complex case or rather, a series of interlocking cases. As a Navajo, he is conditioned to expect a logical, orderly world, but in the troubled borderland where the Tribal Police operate, nothing seems logical.

The corpse, mutilated in witchcraft fashion, found on a trail on Black Mesa, defies identification. A vandal is repeatedly and irrationally damaging a Hopi windmill out in the desert. The burglar who steals from Jake West's trading post refuses to behave as a burglar should. And when a drug-smuggling aircraft crashes close to Chee, where does the dope immediately vanish to, leaving no trace even to his highly skilled tracker's eye?

The dark wind draws the reader into Hopi and Navajo sorcery, and builds up to a tense climax in an old stone village on the night of a secret instation ceremony when no one is admitted except the Kachina spirits. Once again Tony Hillerman strikes an absorbing balance between the conventions of police procedure and the very different conventions of a culture about which we know all too little.

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind. A Jim Chee Novel which combines Hopi & Navajo sorcery with the more conventional attractions of police procedure. Gollancz, ISBN: 0575031883 (February, 1983), 214 p., £6.95.

The Dark Wind

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind (USA 1982)

From the Publisher:
For Navajos, changes of mood and behavior are caused by winds streaming through the human mind. Only evil can occur when the dark wind gains control...
As a Navajo, Jim Chee was conditioned to expect a logical, orderly world. But in his new assignment with the tribal police in the troubled Navajo/Hopi borderlands nothing seemed to be logical. The body of a murdered man defied identification. A burglar refused to behave as burglars are supposed to behave. A vandal irrationally damaged the same windmill again and again. And the darkened aircraft which droned low over Chee's head in the predawn darkness flew illogically into sudden, violent death.

The dark wind draws Jim Chee and the reader into a world of Hopi sorcery, Navajo witchcraft, and the deadly question of what happened to the contents of a smuggler's plane. It leads to a tense climax in an old stone village on a night when no one is admitted but the Kachina spirits.

TONY HILLERMAN once again uses his intimate familiarity with the Navajos and other Southwestern Indian cultures to tell a tale of suspense and illusion in which Jim Chee's kAbwledge of the ways of his desert-dwelling people and their Hopi neighbors unravels a mystery within a mystery.

Tony Hillerman: The Dark Wind. A Novel. Harper & Row, ISBN: 0060149361 (March, 1982), 214 p., $12.50.
