Zahn McClarnon stars as Joe Leaphorn in the popular AMC series inspired by Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee novels. The current season, season 4, is based on The Ghostway, and while the story partially takes place in Los Angeles, Leaphorn remains a central character even though he isn’t in this specific book. With season 5 already confirmed before season 4 even aired, the show is clearly successful and has the potential to bring many more of Hillerman’s books to life.
In 2015, filmmaker Andrew Jarecki created a fascinating documentary about a man who had skillfully avoided consequences for his actions for years, using his wealth and legal connections.

Ultimately, his dedication to uncovering the truth proved incredibly rewarding – and that’s putting it mildly.
