The crime and the bungled FBI investigation left behind a web of mysteries. The most puzzling of all: what crime were the men enroute to commit when Officer Dale Claxton stopped them — and paid for his bravery with his life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his newest bestseller, Tony Hillerman assigns these real-life puzzles to his fictional Navajo Tribal police officers—Sergeant Jim Chee and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (retired). The time is now, and the memory of the mishandled manhunt of 1998 is still painfully fresh when three men stage a pre-dawn raid on the Ute Tribe's gambling casino, and they disappear in the maze of canyons on the Utah-Arizona border after killing a policeman. Together Chee and Leaphorn discover an intriguing pattern connecting this crime with the exploits of a legendary Ute hero\/bandit. Tightly plotted and beautifully written, \u003ci\u003eHunting Badger \u003c\/i\u003eproves once again that no one tells a story like Tony Hillerman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTony Hillerman is past president of the Mystery Writers of America and has received their Edgar and Grand Master awards.
