A Thief of Time (Leaphorn & Chee Series, Book #8) by Tony Hillerman
A Thief of Time (Leaphorn & Chee Series, Book #8) by Tony Hillerman
At a moonlit Indian ruin where "thieves of time" ravage sacred ground in the name of profit, a noted anthropologist vanishes while on the verge of making a startling, history-altering discovery. Amid stolen goods and desecrated bones, two corpses are discovered, shot by bullets fitting the gun of the missing scientist.
There are modern mysteries buried in despoiled ancient places, and Navajo tribal policemen Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee must plunge into the past to unearth an astonishing truth and a coldhearted killer. In A Thief of Time, Hillerman paints a stunning portrait of the psychology of murder -- and offers a heartrending example of love and forgiveness.
