The Fallen Man by Tony Hillerman
Good, but not great Hillerman.
The Shiprock formation in New Mexico |
There are actually two mysteries in The Fallen Man. One is a cattle-rustling caper. The other is the long-dead body of a climber that is found on Shiprock (Rock With Wings). If you ask, "What's a shiprock?" than you haven't been to the Four Corners area since this giant exposed interior of a volcano dominates its local landscape like some sort of gothic tower created in the imagination of Stephen King.
This is not Hillerman's best work, but it is enjoyable for any fans of Hillerman. This would not be a good one to start with if you have not read any of the series.
I rate this book 4 stars out of 5.
This book can be found on Amazon.com here: The Fallen Man by Tony Hillerman.
