11611 Harper Collins Publishers New York, NY, U.S.A. 1999 First Edition Dust Jacket Near Fine Hard Cover Near Fine Orange paper on boards, brown paper on spine. Volume has a remainder mark on the bottom page edges. Now in clear cover. "In 1998 three heavily armed 'survivalists' came out of the Four Corners canyons in a stolen truck. They murdered a policeman, had a shootout with pursuers, and then vanished - eluding a manhunt that eventually involved hundreds of officers from more than twenty federal and state agencies. The crime and the bungled FBI investigation left behind a web of mysteries: Why did one of the bandits kill himself? How did the others escape? Why has no one in this impoverished area claimed the huge reward the government still offers? Most puzzling of all, what crime were they en route to commit when Officer Dale Claxton stopped them - and paid for his bravery with his life? Tony Hillerman assigns these real puzzles to his fictional Navajo Tribal Police officers - Sergeant Jim Chee and retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphon. The time is now [1999] , and the memory of the mishandled manhunt of 1998 is still fresh." $12.00USD
