A long stake out ends in a simple traffic stop. Cacti and a rifle in the trunk - what does it all mean? Bernie and Chee, with the help of Leaphorn, must put all the pieces together before anyone gets hurt in the latest installment Rock With Wings released on May 5th. Our happy couple takes a much-needed getaway to Monument Valley in Arizona. A beautifully described Navajo land in Arizona. The importance a family in the Navajo culture runs deep when Chee and his wife agree to help his cousin get a business started. The working vacation is short-lived when family matters call Bernie back to her home in Shiprock, Arizona.
