Human bones lie on a ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountain, the remains of a murder victim undisturbed for more than a decade.

Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, believes the shooter and the skeleton are somehow connected and recalls a chilling puzzle he was previously unable to solve. But Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee is too busy to take an interest in a dusty cold case . . . until the reborn violence of it hits much too close to home.

Tony Hillerman: The Fallen Man (USA 1996)

From the Publisher:
Hundreds of thousands of devotees will cheer the return of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee in Tony Hillerman's most intricate and atmospheric novel yet. The Navajo policemen; whose exploits are now published in sixteen languages are brought together by the death of a man on Ship Rock almost 1700 feet above the desert floor.

The fallen man had sprawled on the ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountain for eleven years - visited only by the ravens who had picked his bones bare and scattered his rock-climbing gear.

Through the memory of those who had known him emerges an understanding of the fallen man who had been given everything and found it was not enough.

The Fallen Man is replete with Hillerman trademarks - ingeniously intricate plotting, splendid evocations of the Southwest's harsh beauty, insights into a venerable culture, and subtly poignant characterizations.

Tony Hillerman's many bestselling novels include Finding Moon, Sacred Clowns and Coyote Waits. He lives with his wife, Marie, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
