"The Shape-Shifter" by Tony Hillerman. Jim Chee & Bernadette just got back from their honeymoon. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn is feeling his age in retirement. He comes back to investigate an old expensive Navajo rug that had supposedly burned up in a fire decades ago. That rug hung in the home of a rich man whose home was photographed for a recent "House" magazine.
Everything was covered up in that fire where a fugitive criminal had died. Money was stolen, his accomplices went to prison, two innocent people were murdered & that Navajo rug disappeared. Someone tries to poison Leaphorn & the former accomplices get paroled from prison. Did the money burn up in that fire? Is Leaphorn too tired to investigate a cold case that goes back decades?
