The Jim Chee Mysteries [First Edition, hardback, 1990]

This is the first edition hardback of the The Jim Chee Mysteries: Three Classic Hillerman Mysteries Featuring Officer Jim Chee. This is an anthology of the first three Navajo Mystery Novels featuring Jim Chee as the main character including: People of Darkness (1980), The Dark Wind (1982), and The Ghostway (1984). This edition was published in 1990 by HarperCollins Publishers in New York City, New York.
