One of the best of Hillerman's book as he contrasts the action of young Navajo policeman, Jim Chess with otherwise of Senior officer Joe Leaphorn. Jim manages to screw up by not really paying attention to what he is doing. It's spring all he thinking about is Janet Peete. His assignment is to locate a Indian lad who is missing from his school and tell him to call his grandmother. Jim asked Janet to go with him to the festival for romantic interlude and before he realizes it Janet has a couple of friends to join them. Needless to said he loose the boy and is present when the boy's uncle is MURDER. Meanwhile Joe Leaphorn is helping the FBI with a MURDER at the school. These affairs are skillfully brought together as one. I highly recommend this book .
