Hunting Badger: A Leaphorn and Chee Novel (A Leaphorn and Chee Novel, 14)

"Hillerman continues to dazzle. . . . A standout." -- Washington Book World

The fourteenth novel featuring Leaphorn and Chee by New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman.

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.
