4.0 out of 5 stars
Cultural diversity adds depth to the cops and robbers genre., October 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Relentless (Hardcover)
Sam Watchman, the Navajo cop who cracks this case, appears to be the precursor of a more well known Joe Leaphorn or Jim Chee of Tony Hillerman fame. Watchman is relentless (pun intended) in his pursuit of bank robbers whose plane has crashed in the high mountains of the Southwest. Although the criminals, as former "commandos," are specialists in the art of destruction and murder they may have met their match when they meet up with Watchman. This is far more than a simple good guy/bad guy chase: this is the collision of diverse cultures in a hostile environment. As they have before and since, Garfield's talents as a writer add depth and insight to a field often replete with cliche.
