Listening Woman

“Hillerman’s mysteries are special . . . Listening Woman is among the best.”— Washington Post

The third novel in New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman’s highly acclaimed Leaphorn and Chee series.

The blind shaman called Listening Woman speaks of witches and restless spirits, of supernatural evil unleashed. But Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police is sure the monster who savagely slaughtered an old man and a teenage girl was human.

Now the solution to a horrific crime is buried somewhere in a dead man’s secrets—and in the shocking events of a hundred years past. To ignore the warnings of a venerable seer, however, might be reckless foolishness when Leaphorn’s investigation leads him further away from the comprehensible . . . and closer to the most brutally violent confrontation of his career.
