Same Hillerman elements with a different slant.

Looks like a skeleton of a climber was found on a ledge on Ship Rock. Could this solve the mystery of a person missing for many years? Retired Joe Leaphorn is given a retainer to find out the circumstances. He enlists the help of Jim Chee. Chee has his plate pretty full trying to juggle his love life, being acting LT., and dealing with an overzealous assistant. On top of that, he has to compete with a boring s-n-o-b of authority in tracking down cattle rustler(s). As usual, all the clues are laid out in the open, and if one works at it, they may be able to piece the puzzle together before Joe or Jim. It is fun watching how it is revealed to them. We also have plenty of what makes Hillerman famous, and that is descriptions of the Four Corners area and the Navajo way. I appreciate this as I have spent many a summer watching Ship Rock from Mesa Verde.
