“Everything is connected. The wing of the corn beetle affects the direction of the wind, the way the sand drifts, the way the light reflects into the eye of man beholding his reality. All is part of totality, and in this totality man finds his hozro, his way of walking in harmony, with beauty all around him.”

Tony Hillerman, The Ghostway
K.L. Kim
“For readers interested in mystery stories that will immerse you in a culture and geography you may not be familiar with, I highly recommend Tony Hillerman’s books. Great crime stories, great main characters, and set within the Navajo Nation. And his daughter Anne’s books are really good too!”
