Skinwalkers (Leaphorn and Chee, Bk. 7)

Three shotgun blasts rip through the side of Officer Jim Chee's trailer as the Navajo tribal policeman sleeps. He survives, but the inexplicable attack has raised disturbing questions about a lawman once beyond reproach. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn wonders why Chee was a target and what connection the assault has to a series of gruesome murders plaguing the reservation. But the investigation is leading Leaphorn and Chee into a nightmare of ritual, witchcraft, and blood . . . and into the dark and mystical domain of the evil beings of Navajo legend, the "skinwalkers."
