In Skinwalkers, three shotgun blasts explode into the trailer of Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police. This is a must-have anthology from one of the great masters of suspense. This stunning collection includes the critically acclaimed novels Skinwalkers, A Thief of Time, and Coyote Waits, all of which have been adapted for PBS by producer Robert Redford. Tony Hillerman is one of the most revered and honored mystery writers published today. This was of course until Yellowhorse spilled his beans to Chee right before he was going to kill him.Three of New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman's most popular novels are together for the first time in one volume.
The hardest part of putting two and two together was finding a motive, which throughout most of the book there didn't seem to be one.
He was the detective on the case and I even realized what was going on before he did. Before being shot Onesalt had spoken to officer Chee and Yellowhorse assumed that now he knew as well or would find out with time.Ĭhee probably should have caught wind of what was going on long before the end of the book. Yellowhorse feared she would expose him so he had her murdered by making up a story that she just like the others was a skinwalker and they had put a curse on whomever did the particular killing (the mother). This is also the reasoning for why Endocheeney, Wilson Sam and Roosevelt Bistie had all been killed and furthermore why an attempt had been made on Jim Chee's life. Onesalt had caught on to the hospital fraud and was building a case against Dr. The only problem that Yellowhorse ran into was that some people were starting to catch on. This meant it was almost effortless for him to file faulty reports as often as possible. Yellowhorse easily covered up people that were still living because he worked in the hospital and had access to the financial data. The reason this was done so easily was because there were no death certificates for the deceased and many people that were dead had no date of death along with there name. Yellowhorse was now making the government reimburse the hospital for the bills of people who had already been released and even for people who were already deceased. This treaty promised things to the Indian people things, which were never delivered, such as one teacher for every thirty residents.
The reasoning behind the fraud was because a treaty that was signed at Fort Summer decades ago. The fraud in the story "Skinwalkers" was committed for the sole purpose of getting back at the American government.
