Talking Mysteries: A Conversation with Tony Hillerman (1991)

Talking Mysteries offers a fascinating look into the mind and craft of Tony Hillerman. This collection features his autobiographical essay, "Mystery, Country Boys and the Big Reservation," an in-depth interview conducted by Ernie Bulow, and the standalone Jim Chee mini-mystery, "The Witch, Yazzie and the Nine of Clubs." Accompanied by 12 A Thief of Time–inspired illustrations by Ernest Franklin, this volume expands upon the earlier Words, Weather and Wolfmen with updated arrangements, personal photos of Hillerman, and a map of "Hillerman Country" highlighting key locations from his Navajo mystery series.
