Synopsis

Sheriff Walt Longmire uncovers a cold case that hits very close to home and forces him to put his life on the line with implications that some people would kill to keep buried forever

Sheriff Walt Longmire and Dog are called on a routine search and rescue to Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, where Walt finds himself on a rock outcropping remembering when his father told him about the first time he saw a man die. In the late forties, Bill
Sutherland was shot but the investigation was stymied because no member of the elk camp—where he was found—was carrying the caliber rifle that killed the state accountant.

When Dog discovers the missing weapon, the sheriff of Absaroka County is plunged headfirst into a cold case. His investigation quickly finds ties to a hidden mineral fund that someone is willing to kill to keep secret. The embodiment of the fair-minded detective,
Walt is pushed to his ethical boundaries. In his relentless pursuit of the truth, he discovers the rifle in question belonged to none other than Walt’s infamous and uncompromising grandfather, Lloyd Longmire.

This is just another wonderful novel by Craig Johnson. It all began with an old Weatherby rifle from the 1940’s. From there the plot takes more turns than a Rand McNally map. The question which is weaved through this writing is, “Who can Walt trust?” The ever present “tongue and cheek” humor of Wal......more

Somehow Craig Johnson finds ways to escalate the ongoing saga of Walt Longmire, with fresh takes on his personal life as they play against the cases he comes up against.

Okay, here’s the thing, I’m a fan of the Longmire series having read every book and, while I try to remain neutral when it comes to my book reviews, it’s possible I may be a little biased towards every book in the series. Be that as it may, I felt this was one of the stronger books with a deep explo......more
