The listing, TONY HILLERMAN THE WAILING WIND has ended.
Tony Hillerman The Wailing Wind is a hardcover in really good condition its been read a few times.
To Officer Bernadette Manuelito, the man curled upon the truck seat was just another drunk, which got Bernie in trouble for mishandeling a crime scene, which got Sergeabt Jim Chee in trouble with the FBI, which drew Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn out of retirement and back into the "Golden Calf" homicide, a case he had hooed to forget.
Nothing had seemed complicated about that earlier one: A con game had gone sour. A swindler had tried to sell wealthyold Wiley Denton the location of one of the West's multitude of legendary lost gold mines. Denton had shot the swindler, called the police, confessed the homicide, and done his short prison time. No mystery there.
Except why did the rich mans bride vanish? The cynics said she was part if the swindle plot. She'd fled when it failed. But, alas, old Joe Leaphorn was a romantic. He believed in love, and thus the Golden Calf case still troubled him. Now papers foubd in this new homicide case connect the victim to Denton and the mythical Golden Calf Mine. The first Golden Calf victim had been there just hours before Denton killed him. And while Denton was killibg him, four children tresspassibg among the rows of empty bunkers in the long abandoned Wingate Ordinance Depot called in an odd reportto the police. They had heard , in the wind wailing around the old buildins, what sounded like music and the cries of a woman.
