"They teach us that everything has two forms."

Jim Chee sits drinking coffee while his partner, Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez, meets his demise. Chee catches the obvious perpetrator. A Navaho shaman, with a bottle in one hand and THE gun in his belt. Case closed. Because of his guilt at not backing up his partner and at the insistence of Chee’s on-again and off-again relationship with the defending attorney, Janet Pete, Chee must find out for himself what happened and if he may have made a mistake. Because of a relationship through his dead wife with Ashie Pinto’s (the defendant) clan, and also being pushed by Dr. Bourbonette (anthropologist), who insists that Ashie is being railroaded, Joe Leaphorn also investigates from a different angle. He is constantly thinking about what his dead wife Emma would say in the situation. Both men are pushed into what looks like an endless amount of overlapping mysteries, of which the murder of Delbert Nez is just one. They – and we - must deal with the history of the CIA and that of witches.
