Don’t miss the TV series, Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn, Chee, & Manuelito novels, now on AMC and AMC+! From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman comes another unforgettable mystery in which Leaphorn & Chee must race against the clock to solve two brutal murders. “[Hillerman's] clowns are . . . every bit as raucous, profane, and funny as Shakespeare's."—New York Times Book Review During a kachina ceremony at the Tano Pueblo, the antics of a dancing koshare fill the air with tension. Moments later, the clown is found bludgeoned to death, in the same manner a reservation schoolteacher was killed only days before. Officer Jim Chee and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn believe that answers lie in the sacred clown's final cryptic message to the Tano people. But to decipher it, the two Navajo policemen may have to delve into closely guarded tribal secrets—on a sinister trail of blood that links a runaway, a holy artifact, corrupt Indian traders, and a pair of dead bodies.

During a Tano kachina ceremony, something in the antics of the dancing koshare, a sacred clown, fills the air with tension. Moments later, the clown is found brutally bludgeoned -- in the same manner that a reservation schoolteacher was killed just days before. In true Navajo style, Officer Jim Chee and Lieutenant Leaphorn of the Tribal Police go back to the beginning to decipher the sacred clown's message to the people of the Tano pueblo. Amid guarded tribal secrets and crooked Indian traders, they find a trail of blood that links a runaway schoolboy, two dead bodies, and the mysterious presence of a sacred artifact.

There was a time when I was privileged to build a small sacred fire on a mound in the sacred circle for new moon ceremonies. The fire was an embodiment of the spirit made manifest for the group who came together to replenish their collective and individual spirits. It was my privilege to make pretty fires which danced as they burned. This task of mine was a sacred task and I took it seriously, but what I enjoyed most about the festivities was the joy and humor which infested all who participated. One of the many things I have experienced in my long life is the joy and laughter I have always associated with Native American activities. When Indians are together they laugh together, much more than I have noticed in gatherings of non-Indians, who have other cultural indicators of spirituality. Many Native traditions hold clowns and tricksters as essential to contact with the sacred. People prayed after they had laughed, because laughter tended to open one's mind and free up rigid preconceptions. So human animals had tricksters within the most sacred ceremonies lest they forget how the sacred comes through upset, reversal, surprise. The trickster in most Native traditions is essential to creation, to birth. And the heyokah, the booger, the clown, the neweekwe, the koshari, the contrary, was the sacred bringer of this laughter. The bringing of laughter to the group was often accomplished with a zany dance of pratfalls or patently absurd physical activities. There is a shared understanding of the need for this aspect of sacred dancing being necessary to open the spirits of the people, to prepare them to participate in the spiritual togetherness of the sacred circle. The sacred clowns of the Native Americans were very often overtly sexual in their "clowning"; so much so that in modern American society they would all be pilloried for sexual aggression. One must remember that these clowns were male, female, and bisexual. Their sexually explicit stance was their way of forcing their audience, the other members of their group, into a place of embarrassment which could be relieved only by laughter. Laughter was the weapon of change in an individual's anti-social behavior. Poking fun was the ultimate weapon of shaming. And because it produced laughter all could share in a release of tension caused by the wrongness involved. So when i finally found a thick, stiff nylon string to make string figures with I began to make dancing figures which became for me a series of "sacred clowns" personifying this crucial part of my cultural upbringing. This book is a partial record of my ongoing passion of creating touchstones of laughter, for reaching the spirituality within us all. inoli
