Tony Hillerman (1925-2008) was an award-winning author and newspaperman, best known for his mystery novels set in Navajoland. He was also the author of The Great Taos Bank Robbery and Other True Stories (UNM Press).
Anne Hillerman's debut novel, Spider Woman's Daughter, received the Western Writers Spur Award for Best First Novel. That book and the six novels that followed were all New York Times best sellers. Her eighth mystery, The Way of the Bear, will launch in April 2023. Her books continue the Navajo detective stories her father, Tony Hillerman, made popular. When she's not working, Anne likes to read, cook, hike, ski, and travel. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Tucson, Arizona, and makes frequent trips to the Navajo Nation.
