The police link the jewel to a robbery and ask retired Joe Leaphorn for help, who connects it to a 1956 mid-air collision. The daughter of a victim seeks to claim her inheritance while the Hopi legend of the skeleton man envelops the case.

For readers of crime fiction and classic mystery interested in Navajo and Hopi culture and the landscape of the American Southwest.
