The novels featuring Navajo detectives Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee were highlighted as the source material for the television series Dark Winds.
The TV series Dark Winds is a cop show about the Navajo tribal police based on the best-selling novels by Tony Hillerman.
Back in 1970, a journalist named Tony Hillerman launched a series of crime novels featuring two Navajo cops who worked for the tribal police on a reservation in New Mexico.
Yet as it stands, the Joe Leaphorne and Jim Chee novels, as they're known, are very enjoyable books as well as valuable intellectual property.
