Three of New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman's most popular novels -- a must-have anthology from one of the great masters of suspense.

Skinwalkers - Three shotgun blasts explode into the trailer of Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police. Chee survives to join partner Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn in a frightening investigation that takes them into a dark world of ritual, witchcraft, and blood -- all tied to the elusive and evil "skinwalker."

A Thief of Time - A noted anthropologist vanishes at a moonlit Indian ruin where "thieves of time" ravage sacred ground for profit. When two corpses appear amid stolen goods and bones at an ancient burial site, Leaphorn and Chee must plunge into the past to unearth the astonishing truth behind a mystifying series of horrific murders.

Coyote Waits - It wasn't the car fire that killed Navajo Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez. A bullet did. Ashie Pinto is quickly arrested for homicide, but Pinto won't utter a word of confession or denial. Leaphorn and Chee must unravel a complex plot involving an historical find, a lost fortune ... and the mythical Coyote, who is always waiting, and always hungry.
