Joe Leaphorn, tenente della polizia tribale, è chiamato a indagare sul brutale omicidio di un vecchio e di una sedicenne navajo.

L’unica testimone, un’anziana sciamana cieca chiamata Donna che Ascolta, che ha parlato di stregoni e spiriti inquieti e di un essere malvagio che è stato sguinzagliato sulla terra, non è stata giudicata credibile.
