Tony Hillerman.
I know he is an author but I was reading a western by Willam W.Johnstone and one of his Last Mountain Man books. I really enjoy them on my iPad. He was one of the best writers around. He died in 2004. He also wrote the Out of the Ashes series among others. If you have not read any, do so. J.A. took over when Bill died. There is a new book out, Stand your Ground. Very interesting.
