The Wailing Wind

This is an okay book written by Tony Hillerman. The Golden Calf case seemed like a typical scam gone wrong, when wealthy Wiley Denton confessed to police that he shot a swindler that had tried to trick him. However the rich man’s wife also went missing. When papers are found that suggest a connection between a new homicide and the old case, Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn is brought in to investigate.

It is the 15th novel in the Navajo Tribal Police series. Hillerman lived in New Mexico and in 1996 was considered the 22nd wealthiest man in the state. He died on October 26, 2008 due to heart failure at the age of 83.
