A Thief of Time

I've been introduced to so many wonderful authors by my mother. Tony Hillerman was an award-winning American author of detective novels and non-fiction works best known for his Navajo Tribal Police mystery novels. Several of his works have been adapted as big-screen and television movies.


The first one of his books I read was A Thief of Time, The plot involves the Anasazi, a missing archeologist, a stolen backhoe, and people who are termed "pot hunters". The protagonists are Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee of the Navajo tribal police.

This book and his others are worth the read.
