Tony Hillerman (1925 – 2008)

His Navajo police procedurals, centered around Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, were a joy, a comfort, and a much-needed distraction to me over the years. There is a gentleness to these novels, though they deal with violent deeds, and a respect for the earth and the Navajo culture, a poetry.
His NYTimes obit is here.
