Yellow Dirt: A Navajo Nation Mystery

Yellow dirt gathers in the creases of the toddler’s dirty blue jeans and on the little hands used to brush away a pesky fly. The same yellow particles that cling to the walls of the Hogan, contaminates the drinking water and fills the air where his father work and comes home covered with yellow dust. Yellow dirt. That enriches the powerful, but at the expense of the unsuspecting Dinè.

Hogan to track down his only living relative—little knowing something far more terrifying than bad spirits await him just down the trail. The eleventh stand-alone book in Chappell’s exciting Navajo Nation Mystery series plunges readers into a deftly woven mystery within a mystery. The author’s unique gift is to hand over the reins to mystical places which many readers might never experience… along with the inimitable characters, old and new, that tend to linger on long after the story has ended.
