Tony Hillerman

    27. máj 1925 – 26. október 2008

    Tony Hillerman bol oceneným vojnovým veteránom a novinárom, ktorého diela často skúmali hlboké kultúrne a morálne otázky prostredníctvom pútavých detektívnych príbehov zasadených do jedinečného prostredia. Jeho písanie sa vyznačovalo starostlivým vykreslením postáv a atmosférou, ktorá čitateľov vtiahla do zložitých záhad a zároveň ponúkala pohľad na život a tradície západu Spojených štátov. Hillerman majstrovsky preplietal napätie detektívneho žánru s hlbšími úvahami o ľudskej povahe a spoločenských výzvach, čím si získal celosvetové uznanie.

      Tony Hillerman: The Leaphorn & Chee Novels
    • In 1956, an airplane crash left the remains of 172 passengers scattered among the majestic cliffs of the Grand Canyon—including an arm attached to a briefcase containing a fortune in gems. Half a century later, one of the missing diamonds has reappeared . . . and the wolves are on the scent. Former Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn is coming out of retirement to help exonerate a slow, simple kid accused of robbing a trading post. Billy Tuve claims he received the diamond he tried to pawn from a mysterious old man in the canyon, and his story has attracted the dangerous attention of strangers to the Navajo lands—one more interested in a severed limb than in the fortune it was handcuffed to; another willing to murder to keep lost secrets hidden. But nature herself may prove the deadliest adversary, as Leaphorn and Sergeant Jim Chee follow a puzzle—and a killer—down into the dark realm of Skeleton Man.

      Skeleton Man. Der Skelett-Mann, englische Ausgabe
    • Three men raid the gambling casino run by the Ute nation and then disappear into the maze of canyons on the Utah-Arizona border. When the FBI, with its helicopters and high-tech equipment, focuses on a wounded deputy sheriff as a possible suspect, Navajo Tribal Police Sergeant Jim Chee and his longtime colleague, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, launch an investigation of their own. Chee sees a dangerous flaw in the federal theory; Leaphorn sees intriguing connections to the exploits of a legendary Ute bandit-hero. And together, they find themselves caught up in the most perplexing--and deadly--criminal manhunt of their lives.
