Publisher's summary

Walt Longmire faces one of his most challenging crime scenes as he tries to reckon with the revelations of his last case where he confronted the ghosts of his past and questioned the very nature of justice and mercy in the hard country of the West.

Deep in the heart of the Wyoming countryside, Sheriff of Absaroka County Walt Longmire is called to a crime scene like few others that he has seen. This crime brings up issues that go back to Walt’s grandfather’s time in Wyoming, as the revelations he learns about his grandfather come back to offer clues and motives for Walt’s investigation. Filled with back-country action, and with the great cast of characters that listeners have come to love with the Longmire series, this new book will be sure to satisfy both long-time listeners and those new to the series.

Longmire Long Missed has Returned

The past couple of books were a little bit of a poor snowing from the author who has written some of my favorite stories of all time. This book was a redemption of all that is good about the Authors writing and all the good people of the Longmire Universe.

My favorite, so far!

I've been a Longmire fan for years. I've liked some books better than others, naturally, but this is probably my favorite. George's narration was superb and the story reminded me why Craig Johnson is one of my all time favorite authors.

Walt Longmire isn't always perfect, doesn't have all the answers, but you can ALWAYS count on the integrity of this character to get him where he needs to be. Loved this book so much. Another 5 star winner for Mr. Johnson!

Craig Johnson...what is not to love?

I will never give away a plot, or an ending, however suffice it to say that I think this is one of the best Longmire books so far! I have been involved with these books and the series since the first book. And as great as the series was, the books are better. I have been an avid reader since I was four and I have always enjoyed a well-written book. I almost never quit on a book, in fact the only things that will stop me is one that is full of grammatical errors or protagonists I cannot stand. These books are perfect and this is one of the best. If they keep getting better I do not know how I will be able to wait between them! If you have never read one of the Longmire books, do so, you will not regret it.

Perfect

I really enjoyed this book! The story was perfect and kept me guessing until the end! George’s reading was, as always, a perfect Walt Longmire.

I love me some Walt but I missed the women

One of my favorite things about Walt Longmire is his banter with the women in his life Vic, his daughter even Ruby. This book was very light on that. He had some with two of the women in the plot line so there was that. The store line was very nice and George was amazing as always. Always worth the time.
