The Fallen Man is the 12th in the Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee series by Tony Hillerman. This is a great series, although I'm perhaps a little biased because my dad's family is from the region. Still, some of the series books have won/been nominated for lots of awards, and this one has a 4.8 out of 5.0 rating at Amazon US. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Hillerman's books (other than the first few) don't go on sale very often, so grab it if you want it.

Spoiler:

Human bones lie on a ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountain, the remains of a murder victim undisturbed for more than a decade. Three hundred miles across the Navajo reservation, a harmless old canyon guide is felled by a sniper's bullet.

Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, believes the shooter and the skeleton are somehow connected and recalls a chilling puzzle he was previously unable to solve. But Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee is too busy to take an interest in a dusty cold case . . . until the reborn violence of it hits much too close to home.
