| Song of the Lion by Anne HillermanMystery. Attending a high school basketball game, Navajo police officer Bernadette Manuelito hears a car bomb explode in the parking lot. It's thought that the owner of the car, a lawyer mediator working with land developers, the Hopi, and the Dani, was the target, so Bernie's husband, Sgt. Jim Chee, guards him. Meanwhile, Bernie works with retired Lt. Joe Leaphorn to uncover a link from the bomb to one of his earlier cases. While the late Tony Hillerman focused on Leaphorn and Chee, his daughter Anne places Bernie at center stage in her previous two books in the series and in this 21st entry. For another fascinating female lead, try Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak mysteries. |
