Song of the Lion turns on a car bombing at a high-school basketball game and a contested development dispute on Navajo land, drawing Bernadette Manuelito, Jim Chee, and Joe Leaphorn into a case rich with contemporary environmental and tribal politics. Booklist praised how Hillerman "seamlessly blends tribal lore and custom" while establishing Manuelito as the series' main player, and the novel shows her confident command of the Four Corners world her father, Tony, made famous.
This HarperCollins first edition, first printing is signed by Anne Hillerman on the title page and also carries an "Autographed" sticker on the title page. The handsome jacket features a stalking mountain lion silhouetted against a desert sunset within the series' Southwestern border.
