The First Eagle (Leaphorn & Chee Series, Book #13) by Tony Hillerman
When Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee catches a Hopi poacher huddled over a butchered Navajo Tribal Police officer, he has an open-and-shut case -- until his former boss, Joe Leaphorn, blows it wide open. Now retired from the Navajo Tribal police Leaphorn has been hired to find a hotheaded female biologist hunting for the key to a virulent plague lurking in the Southwest. The scientist disappeared from the same area on the same day the Navajo cop was murdered. Is she a suspect or another victim? And what about a report that a skinwalker -- a Navajo witch -- was seen at the same time and place too? For Leaphorn and Chee, the answers lie buried in a complicated knot of superstition and science. In a place where the worlds of native peoples and outside forces converge and collide.
