Sheriff Walt Longmire investigates a hit-and-run near Devils Tower in this thrilling novel from the New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson
The hit drama Longmire is now streaming on Paramount+
In the midst of the largest motorcycle rally in the world, a young biker is run off the road and ends up in critical condition. When Sheriff Walt Longmire and his good friend Henry Standing Bear are called to Hulett, Wyoming the nearest town to America's first national monument, Devils Tower to investigate, things start getting complicated. As competing biker gangs; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; a military-grade vehicle donated to the tiny local police force by a wealthy entrepreneur; and Lola, the real-life femme fatale and namesake for Henry's '59 Thunderbird (and, by extension, Walt's granddaughter) come into play, it rapidly becomes clear that there is more to get to the bottom of at this year's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally than a bike accident. After all, in the words of Arthur Conan Doyle, whose Adventures of Sherlock Holmes the Bear won't stop quoting, "There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact."

Pressestimmen
Thrilling . . . Whether he s squaring off against biker gangs or teasing out long-simmering feuds involving his closest friends, Walt Longmire is always the man for the job. Publishers Weekly
Plenty of action, humor, and literary allusions drive the story to a bang-up conclusion. Johnson . . . never disappoints. Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series
It's the scenery and the big guy standing in front of the scenery that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson's lean and leathery mysteries. The New York Times Book Review
Johnson's hero only gets better both at solving cases and at hooking readers with age. Publishers Weekly
Like the greatest crime novelists, Johnson is a student of human nature. Walt Longmire is strong but fallible, a man whose devil-may-care stoicism masks a heightened sensitivity to the horrors he's witnessed. Los Angeles Times
Johnson's trademarks [are] great characters, witty banter, serious sleuthing, and a love of Wyoming bigger than a stack of derelict cars. The Boston Globe
The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence. The New York Times
[Walt Longmire] is an easy man to like. . . . Johnson evokes the rugged landscape with reverential prose, lending a heady atmosphere to his story. The Philadelphia Inquirer
Stepping into Walt's world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and it's where those slippers lead that provides a thrill. Johnson pens a series that should become a 'must' read, so curl up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride. The Denver Post
Johnson's pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps. Entertainment Weekly
