Shootout at the Wash-O-Mat.

A shootout at the Shiprock Wash-O-Mat leads to a puzzle that only Jim Chee, with his knowledge of the Ghostway and death rituals, can try to piece together. Related is the disappearance of a schoolgirl (Margaret Sosi) who will lead Jim from the New Mexico landscape to the Los Angeles area. With Hillerman's gift for description, we also get a contrasting look at the different worlds. Will he find the girl, and what does the puzzle spell out, or will it ever become clear? This is a close continuation of "People of Darkness," so many of the descriptions and people were previously defined in that book. The reason people read Hillerman is mostly for the descriptions of the places and people his characters encounter. As seen in previous books, in the description of Margaret and other characters, he incorporates his real-life experience with World War II and its aftermath.
