The Shape Shifter (Leaphorn & Chee Series, Book #18) by Tony Hillerman
Though he's officially retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, Joe Leaphorn occasionally helps his former colleagues Jim Chee and Bernie Manuelito crack particularly puzzling crimes.
But there is that rare unsolved investigation that haunts every lawman, including the legendary Leaphorn. Joe still hasn't let go of his "last case" -- a mystery involving a priceless Navajo rug that was supposedly destroyed in a fire. Nine years later, what looks like the same on-of-a-kind rug turns up in a magazine spread, and the man who showed Joe the photograph has gone missing.
With Chee and Bernie on their honeymoon, Leaphorn plunges into the case solo, picking up the threads of this crime he'd long thought impossible to solve. Not only has the passage of time obscured the details, but a murderer long thought dead continues to roam free and is ready to strike again to keep the past buried.
