Yellow Dirt
Yellow dirt gathers in the creases of the toddler's dirty blue jeans and on the little hands used to brush away a pesky fly. The same yellow particles that cling to the walls of the Hogan, contaminates the drinking water and fills the air where his father works only to come home covered with yellow dust. Yellow dirt. That enriches the powerful, but at the expense of the unsuspecting Dinè.

Sam Klah, now a teenager and left to fend for himself after his mother's death, is determined to leave the Chindi plagued Hogan and track down his only living relative—little knowing something far more terrifying than Chindi spirits awaits him just down the trail.

Chappell's exciting Navajo Nation Mystery series plunges listeners into a deftly woven mystery within a mystery. The author's unique gift is to hand over the reins to mystical places. Places many listeners might never otherwise experience . . . along with the inimitable characters, old and new, that will linger on long after the story has ended.

About the Author

R. Allen Chappell, the author of thirteen novels and a collection of short stories, grew up with the Navajo, went to school with and later worked alongside-forging enduring friendships along the way. "Those friendships," the author recalls, "became the inspiration for this series." As in life, the people age and change as they grow older, and reservation culture itself evolves.
Chappell notes, "My writing focuses on the people of the Four Corners region past and present. I tend not to romanticize my characters, preferring instead to paint them as I find them. They have much the same qualities, good and bad, as the rest of us."

At home in Western Colorado, Chappell continues to pursue a lifelong interest in the prehistory of the Four Corners region and its people. Though his books are works of fiction, a concerted effort is made to maintain the accuracy of the culture and people as he has come to know them.
