[INDENT]Tony Hillerman, author of the acclaimed Navajo Tribal Police mystery novels and creator of two of the unlikeliest of literary heroes — Navajo police officers Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee — died Sunday of pulmonary failure. He was 83.

[/INDENT] I know I read some of his books years ago, like right out of high school (i’m only 20 you know) and he was an excellent author. 83 is a good, long life though. He’ll be missed.
