A Thief of Time

Do the mysteries of an ancient Indian civilization hold the keyto solving the baffling disappearance of a noted anthropologist?

Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn teams with Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police to try to find out. But the case turns more and more sinister. And a series of mystifying murders…each more bizarre than the one before it…makes finding the missing Dr. Eleanor Friedman-Bernal… if she is still alive… an urgent race against time.

A noted anthropologist vanishes at a moonlit Indian ruin where “thieves of time” ravage sacred ground for profit. When two corpses appear amid stolen goods and bones at an ancient burial site, Navajo Tribal Policemen Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee must plunge into the past to unearth the astonishing truth behind a mystifying series of horrific murders.
