"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
The ninth Longmire book from the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves
It's homecoming for the Durant Dogies when Cord Lynear, a Mormon "lost boy" forced off his compound for rebellious behavior, shows up in Absaroka County. Without much guidance, divine or otherwise, Sheriff Walt Longmire, Victoria Moretti, and Henry Standing Bear search for the boy's mother and find themselves on a high-plains scavenger hunt that ends at the barbed-wire doorstep of an interstate polygamy group. Run by four-hundred-pound Roy Lynear, Cord's father, the group is frighteningly well armed and very good at keeping secrets.
Walt's got Cord locked up for his own good, but the Absaroka County jailhouse is getting crowded since the arrival of the boy's self-appointed bodyguard, a dangerously spry old man who claims to be blessed by Joseph Smith himself. As Walt, Vic, and Henry butt heads with the Lynears, they hear whispers of Big Oil and the CIA and fear they might be dealing with a lot more than they bargained for.

Pressestimmen
Suspense propels the brisk plot, complemented by a sly sense of humor and a breathtaking look at Wyoming. Publishers Weekly (Starred)
Authentic. . . . The story moves at a brisk pace, with room for some good-natured humor and plenty of gorgeous Wyoming scenery. CNN. com
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
