“All of Tony Hillerman’s Navajo tribal police novels have been brilliant, but A Thief of Time is flat-out marvelous.”—USA Today

From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, A Thief of Time is the eighth novel featuring Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee as they find themselves in hot pursuit of a depraved killer.

At a moonlit Indian ruin where "thieves of time" ravage sacred ground in the name of profit, a noted anthropologist vanishes while on the verge of making a startling, history-altering discovery. Amid stolen goods and desecrated bones, two corpses are discovered, shot by bullets fitting the gun of the missing scientist.

There are modern mysteries buried in despoiled ancient places, and Navajo Tribal Policemen Leaphorn and Chee must plunge into the past to unearth an astonishing truth and a cold-hearted killer. In his breakout novel, Hillerman paints a stunning portrait of the psychology of murder—and offers a heart-rending example of love and forgiveness.

One of Hillerman’s Best

This was an excellent story Kept me engaged all the way through the entire book

Anthropology theme

The story was gripping. We learned more about Leaphorn and Chee as their paths cross again.

Love it!

I love Joe and Jim working together. I'm anxious to see how Jim's love life turns out and the following books.

Totally Engaging

Best yet in the Hillerman series! The weave of Navaho culture throughout along with its expression of connection to the landscape and Hillerman’s ability to convey a lot with spare prose held this reader in rapt attention throughout!

Great story, poor performance

Maybe fill poor George up with more air before his next reading. Tone and volume above an out-of-breath whisper would give this title some immersion. Taking money/credits from people for this title is criminal.
