Tony Hillerman - Skinwalkers




Detective of the Navajo Tribal Police Chee and FBI agent Leaphorn investigate series of seemingly unconnected crimes on Indian reservation. Indians believe that skinwalker is killing people, malevolent spirit that can take form of any being and control it, which Leaphorn doesn't believe it since he hates superstition, but Chee, being an Indian, believes. Unfortunately, things turn out rather banal, since the killer is director of the hospital who was responsible for the death of some people, so Indians assumed there was some witch in it. In either case, good crime novel, somewhat exotic.
