Tony Hillerman - People of Darkness - Finished - 2/5/2009

PB - An old paperback that someone left in the library and one that I haven't read yet. Featuring Sgt. Jim Chee who is asked to do some sleuthing on the side to find a Box of memorabilia stolen from the house of a very rich businessman. He runs into the local Sheriff who tries to warn him off taking the job. Jim becomes curious though when people involved turn up dead and he come under attack himself. The case draws him back many years to an explosion at a test oil well rig that killed some workers including the Sheriff's brother.

Its typical Hellerman with lots of Navajo culture mixed into the narative.
