About the book: 2001 / The entire police force of Four Corners - a deserted, canyon-riddled area in the south-east of America - was put on its feet after unknown assailants robbed casino. The bandits acted extremely boldly and managed to disappear without a trace with considerable loot. How did they manage to disappear into the maze of canyons? Oddly enough, the answer to this question is given by an old legend of the Navajo Indians. Two Navajo Reservation policemen - retired veteran Joe Leaphorn and young Jim Chee - are on the trail of the criminals.
