About the Book

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?



About the Author :
Tony Hillerman (1925-2008) was an American author of award-winning mysteries set on the Navajo Indian reservation featuring Native American policeman Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee, twelve novels of which made the New York Times bestsellers list. His Leaphorn novels have won the Edgar Award, Anthony Award, and Macavity Award for Best Novel. His other honors include the Center for the American Indian's Ambassador Award, the Spur Award for Best Western Novel, and the Navajo Tribal Council Special Friend of the Dineh award. The Western Writers of America honored him with the Wister Award for Lifetime achievement in 2008, and was named by the Mystery Writers of America as one of mystery fiction's Grand Masters. He also wrote several stand-alone novels, books for children, and nonfiction. George Guidall has recorded over 1,700 audiobooks and is the recipient of many AudioFile Earphones Awards and two Audie Awards for Excellence in Audiobook Narration, as well as a Special Achievement Award in 2014 from the Audio Publishers Association. His forty-year acting career includes starring roles on Broadway, an Obie Award for best performance off Broadway, and frequent television appearances.

Review :

"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"
