Dead Soul (Charlie Moon Mysteries) by Doss, James D.. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780312994624.

Where Colorados border pushes against New Mexico, autumn is short. Rancher and tribal investigator Charlie Moon has fat cattle and a prowling cougar that demand his attention. He doesnt have the time to investigate the assault that killed hard-drinking limo driver, Billy Smoke, and put his boss, a U.S. Senator, in a wheelchair. But Moon has an obligation to the People, the Southern Utes, to look into the murder of one of their own. The FBI couldnt solve the case. Now Moon can walk the same paths and get to the same place. Or he can listen to his acid-tongued Aunt Daisy, a tribal shaman as well as a thorn in Moons side. She insists a distraught red-haired girl is looking for Charlie. It may be about Billy Smokes murder. Or-since this involves Aunt Daisy-the girl may be looking for a justice of her own.
