What is New Mexico? Few writers answer that question as authentically as Tony Hillerman. In The Great Taos Bank Robbery, one of the state’s finest storytellers bypasses polished tourist guides to showcase New Mexico's raw charm and peculiar history. Spanning everything from ancient Folsom hunting grounds to a bungled Taos bank heist, these non-fiction essays deliver a witty, unromanticized look at the people, places, and incidents that define the high, dry Southwest.
