Sacred clowns by Tony Hillerman
Moments after a Tano kachina ceremony the clown is found brutally bludgeoned in the same manner that a reservation schoolteacher was killed just days before. Officer Jim Chee and Lieutenant Leaphorn of the Tribal Police go back to the beginning to decipher the sacred clown's message to the people of the Tano pueblo. Amid guarded tribal secrets and crooked Indian traders, they find a trail of blood that links a runaway schoolboy, two dead bodies, and the mysterious presence of a sacred artifact.

Sitting on a rooftop watching sacred clowns perform their antics in a Pueblo ceremonial, Chee spots the boy. Then, suddenly, the crowd is in commotion. One of the clowns has been savagely murdered.
