Hear a Sample of AGENT 49 in:

• Real Audio

• MP3 Clip

Woe is the life of the Rez Cop. "There is a real Agent 49 -- but I wouldn't dare blow his cover," she grinned. "I have always thought those Indian guys and gals who dare to be Tribal Policemen deserved a song of their own."

He was tired of seeing good
Disappear from his neighborhood
It was the last straw, man
So, he became a law man
Here, Dear

Deep brown skin, pure Indian stock
Six foot five, built like a rock
Bad guys better run, man!
He's got a gun, man
Here, Dear

CHORUS
Agent 49
He's out fighting crime
With his Rez Car
Outlaws won't get far

Cruising Highway 28
Agent 49 met his fate
He skillfully hunted
Caught a Ten Most Wanted
Here, Dear

The legend grew and he found fame
There's even a pow-wow in his name
He's got his own drum, man
He's having fun, man
Here, dear

CHORUS

THE DARK WIND by Tony Hillerman

Hillerman has created a wonderful character in Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police. He handily defeats some drug smuggling fiends in this edition. There was also a movie made of this starring Lou Diamond Phillips...but stay away! Read the book first! Be sure to check out the PBS telefilm, "Skinwalkers" starring Wes Studi and Adam Beach.
