The Shape Shifter abounds with intrigue and the fascinating insights into Navajo culture that Hillerman’s many fans have come to expect.
In 1965, fugitive Ray Shawnack was supposed to have died in a blaze that consumed a trading post. But many years later, Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police is sent a picture of a
tribal rug that was also thought to have burned in the fire.
Further investigation leads to the lodge of a big–game hunter who has the rug hanging on his wall. What is the connection between the hunter and the newfound rug? And if the rug survived, could the
supposedly dead Shawnack have escaped the conflagration as well?

Editorial Reviews
“Only Hillerman could so masterfully connect such disparate elements as an ancient cursed weaving, two stolen buckets of piñon sap, and the Vietnam War. The conclusion is sure to startle longtime fans of this acclaimed mystery series.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The title ‘shape shifter’ is a real-life version of a creature from tribal legend, an evil being with the power to disappear and reappear as something else. Guidall is a vocal shape shifter himself and wonderfully effective.” —AudioFile
“With The Shape Shifter, Hillerman once again proves himself the master of Southwest mystery fiction, working in a Hemingway-esque tradition of pared-down writing to bring the rugged Southwest into focus.” —Santa Fe New Mexican
