Anne Hillerman is a veteran writer and journalist in her own right — but she's also the daughter of legendary crime fiction writer Tony Hillerman. He is best known for his immensely popular series of detective novels set in Navajo country in the desert southwest. After her father's death in 2008, Anne decided the world should not be without Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee stories. She revived the series and is set to release her fifth title — The Tale Teller — in spring 2019.
