Walt Longmire has a tough job as the sheriff of Absaroka County, located in Wyoming. For the most part, there’s not too much trouble here. But you never know when something is going to pop up or when a bad seed is planning on coming into town.

The sheriff knows that something is going on when someone winds up dead in his jurisdiction. He knows that his gut instincts are telling him that trouble is already here. The victim in question is a man named Cody Pritchard.

It was only two years before that Cody had gotten into the type of trouble that isn’t accidental. With three accomplices, he had received a suspended sentence for their crimes against a girl from Northern Cheyenne. Now Cody has turned up dead and those connected to his crime would have had the incentive and motive to take him out.

Things are already growing quite complicated and Walt has to wonder whether someone is out for the type of justice that the court room never gave them. This could be an act of total vengeance, but the sheriff has to find out who out there has the truest motivation to take this guy out.

As he takes on this perplexing case in a thrilling debut, this sheriff is about to find out that this may be the toughest case he has ever taken on. At times challenging and at others totally volatile, was this a case of accidental death or purposeful revenge? Pick up a copy of this debut and read to the end to find out what happens!

The sheriff is back in yet another gripping case. This time, Walt thought that he had gotten into enough trouble with the arrival and conclusion of his previous murder assignment. But as it turns out, there are new things in development that will eventually end up on his desk.

Walt is doing his job in Absaroka County. Located in Wyoming, this is a rugged area known for its beautiful if not rough landscapes and natural beauty. Even though it really is a nice place to live, things are not always hearts and roses, as this sheriff is about to find out.

When someone dies at a home that provides assisted living, and the cause is found to be poison, Walt gets the call to come in. Sheriff Longmire finds that Mari Baroja has passed away, apparently due to the large amounts of poison that have somehow gotten into her system.

Durant Home is now the setting for murder, and now Walt has a new case to solve. The investigation begins immediately and the sheriff soon finds out that this is not going to be as simple as he might like it to be. To track down the answers that he needs, he is going to have to delve into the dramatic past of this woman.

Walt may end up discovering that he is wholly unprepared for what he finds out. The case will take him all the way into this woman’s Basque past going back fifty years. He’s going to need some help on this one if he wants to get to the finish line. Assisting him will be Victoria Moretti, a deputy, his friend, known as Henry Standing Bar, and Santiago Saizarbitoria, a newcomer.

Can Longmire figure out how the past is connected to present day in order to track down a killer? You are going to have to read this thrilling mystery novel for yourself to find out!

    If you miss the series, READ THE BOOKS. I was so disappointed that the series on TV did not continue, but the books are amazing and have more than fulfilled my need for more. I am on the 14th book and all of them have been wonderful. I love the humor and Walt Longmire is one of the best fictional male characters, written and on TV! I hope Craig Johnson keeps writing them!

      I agree! After reading all the Walt Longmire books, I decided to check out the TV adaptation. Whoa, cowboy! This is not the characters from the books! Stick to the books! The books are mucho more fulfilling! Very rarely in my experience, very few book adaptations to film ever translate well.

    We first watched the series on TV. Loved it so much bought the series and just finished watching it for the second time. Not happy with the ending.Vic is a good deputy but she makes so may many facial quirks it disgusts us. If Walt has to have a woman ,why not the giggler as we call her.

    My wife and I love watching the series after living out west for several years. We sit down together every night and watch a couple of episodes (if we can make ourselves breakaway) Would be great to have them come back. Great acting and screen plays. Proves that a series can be successful w/o lots of trashing situations.

    My husband snd so loved every episode of the television series. We were so disappointed when they released the news that the production was stopping. It didn’t make sense. Everyone we talked with loved this program. My husband passed away on Aug. 31, 2021. I just heard that they might continue with a season 7! I sure hope he is able to all ready have the scoop in heaven. I don’t like thinking that he will never see the additional Longmire!🥺
