- Summary
- "In more than a dozen novels set in the American Southwest, Tony Hillerman's heroes, Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee, travel the mountains, deserts, and towns of the Four Corners region tracking wrongdoers. Laurance Linford takes readers on a journey to the haunts of Hillerman's characters, offering the novels' real locations in encyclopedic form. Each entry gives the common name of a particular location, its Navajo name and history, and a description of its significance in various Hillerman novels. An understanding of the Navajo names and how they relate to the landscape lends a new dimension to the characters and events Tony Hillerman created. The third edition of this bestselling title has been expanded to include all 72 sites from Hillerman's final, location-rich novel, The Shape Shifter. A treat for the curious and a delight for fans of Hillerman's work, [this book] is a feast of information about the beautiful and austere southwestern landscape and the people who live there." -- Page [4] cover.
