Joe Leaphorn observes the trial at the request of the defendant's family, and is troubled by the number of unanswered and disturbing questions that arise during the hearing.

The independent trails of the two detectives ]cad them to the core of an intricate conspiracy involving a valuable historical find, and a skinwalkcr ritual responsible for Pinto's silence. They get caught in a web of deceit and the mystical world of Navajo witchcraft in what promises to be their toughest case ever
