Hillerman, Tony Hunting Badger HarperTorch December 1, 200 Mass Market Pa used: very good The marvelous Hunting Badger is Tony Hillerman's 14th novel featuring Navaj o tribal police officers Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. Here the two cops (who appeared in separate books early on but whose paths now cross routinely) ar e working two angles of the same case to catch the right-wing militiamen wh o pulled off a violent heist at an Indian casino. Hillerman serves up plent y of action and enough plot twists to keep readers off balance, leading up to a satisfyingly tense climax in which Leaphorn and Chee stalk a killer in his hideout. But through it all, the cardinal Hillerman virtues are in evi dence: economical, pellucid prose; a panoply of Indian-country characters w ho seem to rise right up off the page; vivid evocations of the Southwest's bleak beauty; and rich insights into Navajo life and culture.
