Publisher Description
The fourteenth novel in Craig Johnson's beloved New York Times bestselling Sheriff Longmire series.
'The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence' - New York Times
Welcome to Walt Longmire's worst nightmare...
In Craig Johnson's latest mystery, Depth of Winter, an international hit man and the head of one of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico has kidnapped Walt's beloved daughter, Cady, to auction her off to his worst enemies, of which there are many.
The American government is of limited help and the Mexican one even less. Walt heads into the one-hundred-and-ten degree heat of the Northern Mexican desert alone, one man against an army.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Johnson's harrowing 14th mystery featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire (after 2017's The Western Star) takes the Wyoming lawman to Mexico, where ruthless killer Tom s Bidarte holds Walt's grown daughter, Cady, captive in a remote mountain compound in the middle of the Chihuahua desert. The six-foot-four Walt faces formidable obstacles in rescuing Cady, not least being his attention-drawing size. Fortunately, one of his allies on this suicidal mission, a blind man known as the Seer, thinks to pass him off as real-life retired NFL star Bob Lilly, a ruse that works for a while. Once Walt and his team arrive at the compound, the trouble really begins. The tension lets up only intermittently as Walt lurches from one dire situation to another. Humorous asides and witty dialogue provide welcome relief from the often grim circumstances in which Walt finds himself, including a stint in the stocks during a Day of the Dead celebration and the climactic confrontation with Bidarte, who plays matador to Walt's bull. Johnson is in fine form. Author tour.
