It's been a few weeks since I read a book, but the last one I read was Tony Hillerman's The Sinister Pig. I have been a fan since Jack Shaefer's son Carl recommended him, back in the early 1980's. Hillerman has an amazing command of his format, and he gives you a vivid sense of his people and places with a few apt phrases. I don't read a lot of genre fiction these days, but Hillerman never fails to please. There are several interesting Internet sites with lists of books, sample chapters, and essays by and about Hillerman.
- Harper-Collins Publishers' Tony Hillerman pages feature an essay by Hillerman, bibliography, biography, and photo gallery.
- Mysterynet.com's Tony Hillerman Page also has a list of his books, along with a sample chapter.
- Susan Mueller's Unofficial Tony Hillerman Page features a map of the Navajo Nation, and Tony Hillerman photos, criticism, profiles, and interviews. In many ways, this is the most informative site.
