Human bones lie on a ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountain, the remains of a murder victim undisturbed for more than a decade. Three hundred miles across the Navajo reservation, a harmless old canyon guide is felled by a sniper’s bullet.
Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, believes the shooter and the skeleton are somehow connected and recalls a chilling puzzle he was previously unable to solve. But Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee is too busy to take an interest in a dusty cold case . . . until the reborn violence of it hits much too close to home.

If you were offered a dream cottage in an English country village and it was dirt cheap, would you go ahead without viewing it? Perhaps you would if you had walked out on a no-good two-timing whatsit and had nowhere else to go. Even the neighbours are great, bit strange perhaps. And the dishy local vicar declares himself willing to help day or night. Night? And what’s this talk about a mysterious Midnight Train…are you sure you’re doing the right thing?
It’s the 1970s and Ellie attempts to make a new life for herself ignoring the gossip about ghosts and disappearing people. Boring? She’ll never be called that again and I think you’ll agree with her…
