(  ) KApplebaum | Jan 17, 2010 |  There is a huge problem with internal chronology with this novel which is hard to read around - in this novel Leaphorn has only been retired for just a little while which would set this story back around the time of the 12th novel. BUT Chee & Bernie have just gotten married, which makes this a logical follow up to number 17. However, if you can put a little editor on your shoulder and adjust all the places where Leaphorn talks about just being retired, the rest of the novel is pretty good. The mystery revolves around a cold case that gets warmed up when the right person (Leaphorn) runs into a random situation that rings a bell. Since Mr. Hillerman has passed away, this is the last of the series, and I have to say that I will miss Leaphorn and Chee. (  ) tjsjohanna | Oct 5, 2009 | Joe Leaphorn has retired from the Navajo Tribal Police. However he has one unsolved case that he still wants to tie-up and solve.This involves a ruthless killer who it seems can change his whole character and reappear in a new one at will,a Shape-Shifter in effect. A rare and unusual rug and two buckets of pinyon sap are also important aspects of this case. Leaphorn has to make some of the most important decisions of his life before his investigation comes to an end. As I understand it,this is the last book that Tony Hillerman wrote before he died,and he certainly went out on a high note. I have enjoyed all of his books,but none more than this one. (  ) devenish | May 29, 2009 | A predictable mystery with a large dose of Navajo lore. Hillerman often seems to dispense cultural anthropology a bit pointlessly. While it’s interesting, you later realize that it has darn little to do with the story itself. In this volume, we have a really, really bad guy who is the only suspect from the outset, and the only question is how to bring in a man so bad that he leaves no witnesses. The answer, of course, is to have the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn approach him only half prepared and without backup. Very lucky, Joe. (  ) wdwilson3 | Feb 17, 2009 | Retired Leaphorn tracks down a multiple killer from clues drawn from a weaving that was suppose to have been burned in a fire. Well written, good plot, though a bit predictable as to where it was headed. ( ) addunn3 | Nov 7, 2008 |  sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060563451, Hardcover)Retirement has never sat well with former Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn. Now the ghosts of a still-unsolved case are returning to haunt him, reawakened by a photograph in a magazine spread of a one-of-a-kind Navajo rug, a priceless work of woven art that was supposedly destroyed in a suspicious fire many years earlier. The rug, commemorating one of the darkest and most terrible chapters in American history, was always said to be cursed, and now the friend who brought it to Leaphorn's attention has mysteriously gone missing. With newly wedded officers Jim Chee and Bernie Manuelito just back from their honeymoon, the legendary ex-lawman is on his own to pick up the threads of a crime he'd once thought impossible to untangle. And they're leading him back into a world of lethal greed, shifting truths, and changing faces, where a cold-blooded killer still resides.
