A two-book compendium published by Goldmann Verlag, Tony Hillerman's long-term German publisher.
The cover displays the famous Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. As both novels in the compendium, The Dark Wind and Dance Hall of the Dead, both take place near Zuni, NM, the selection of one of the iconic views of the Grand Canyon says more about how Hillermman's work and the Southwestern United States are perceived and marketed abroad than about the novels themselves.
