I found Skeleton Man very interesting since it takes place in and around the Grand Canyon which Kathy and I visited in May. I recognized many of the towns and descriptions of the region. The good guys, though they get shot at and get hurt, still overcome the deeds of evil people.

Tony Hillerman
I have come to enjoy Tony Hillerman's mystery novels set in the southwestern United States. Most characters are Navajo, including Sergeant Jim Chee and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn. They are with the Navajo Tribal Police that has jurisdiction in lands of the Navajo Nation located in the four corners region--Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado. Hillerman includes descriptions of Indian customs, beliefs, and rituals.
