Who would murder a dying man? Why would someone steal a box of rocks? And why would a rich mans wife pay $3000 to get them back? These questions haunt Sgt. Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police as he journeys into the scorching Southwest. But there out in the Bad Country a lone assassin waits for Chee to come seeking answers waits ready and willing to protect a vision of death that for thirty years has been fed by greed and washed in blood.
