This German compilation pairs two of Tony Hillerman's standout mysteries set against the stark backdrop of the American Southwest:
The Dark Wind (1982) When a corpse is discovered scalped with its palms and soles removed, Sergeant Jim Chee faces an unsettling mystery. As a midnight plane crash, missing cocaine, and a strange attack on a desert windmill compound the danger, Chee finds himself battling both white greed and dark Navajo sorcery.
Dance Hall of the Dead (1973) Set in the sacred landscape of the Ramah Navajo and Zuni reservations, this case plunges Lt. Joe Leaphorn into the complex, tense cultural divide between the two neighboring tribes. Exploring the traditions that surround the Zuni concept of the afterlife, Leaphorn must navigate deep-seated animosities to stop a ruthless killer.
