When a young woman seeks help after her father’s suspicious death, Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn are drawn into a web of greed, deception, and danger. Their search takes them deep into the Grand Canyon’s treacherous canyons, where they must outwit ruthless fortune hunters, uncover the truth behind the crash, and survive the deadly secrets buried within the desert.
