Since his retirement from the Navajo Tribal Police, Joe
Leaphorn has occasionally been enticed to return to work by
former colleagues who seek his help when they need to solve
a particularly puzzling crime. They ask because Leaphorn,
aided by officers Jim Chee and Bernie Manuelito, always
delivers.
But this time the problem is with an old case of Joe's—
his "last case," unsolved, is one that continues to haunt
him. And with Chee and Bernie just back from their
honeymoon, Leaphorn is pretty much on his own.
The original case involved a priceless, one-of-a-kind
Navajo rug supposedly destroyed in a fire. Suddenly, what
looks like the same rug turns up in a magazine spread. And
the man who brings the photo to Leaphorn's attention has
gone missing. Leaphorn must pick up the threads of a crime
he'd thought impossible to untangle. Not only has the
passage of time obscured the details, but it also appears
that there's a murderer still on the loose.
