Publisher Description
A murder victim might connect to Walt’s past in the fourth Longmire novel from New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson
The hit drama Longmire is now streaming on Paramount+
When the body of a young Vietnamese woman is discovered alongside the interstate in Wyoming's Absaroka County, Sheriff Walt Longmire finds only one suspect, Virgil White Buffalo, a Crow with a troubling past. In what begins as an open-and-shut case, Longmire gets a lot more than he bargained for when a photograph in the young woman's purse connects her to an investigation that Longmire tackled forty years ago as a young Marine investigator in Vietnam.
In the fourth book in Craig Johnson's award-winning Walt Longmire series, the though yet tender sheriff is up to his star in a pair of murders connected by blood, yet separated by forty haunted years.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Johnson's stellar fourth mystery to feature Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire (after 2007's Kindness Goes Unpunished), Walt responds to a call that leads to the discovery of the body of a young Vietnamese woman, Ho Thi Paquet, along an Absaroka County highway. Squatting nearby with Paquet's purse is a massive Crow Indian later identified as Virgil White Buffalo. When Walt finds a photograph of himself and a Vietnamese barmaid taken in 1968 among the victim's belongings, Walt realizes that the murder isn't as clear-cut as it appears. With the help of his longtime friend, Cheyenne Indian Henry Standing Bear, Walt retraces Paquet's steps and uncovers disturbing links to a California human trafficking ring as well as to his own past as a military inspector in Vietnam. Vivid war flashbacks give a glimpse of a younger but no less determined Walt. Full of crackling dialogue, this absorbing tale demonstrates that Longmire is still the sheriff in town. 4-city author tour.
Customer Reviews
Fast-paced and thrilling, heart-wrenching at times
Once again I thrown, delightedly, into this realm that Craig Johnson has created. The characters some reoccurring and some new ones color this world richly, vibrantly. They jump off the page and are close to me. I have a really hard time putting this book down. Enjoyed very much the flow and style in which Johnson incorporated Walt’s past in Vietnam and his present day case. Cups of coffee and late night, early morning reading binges of the Longmire series for me.
Another Man’s Moccasins
Love this character and stories. I’m a small town girl from northern Ontario. I can easily equate to eccentrics, open spaces, individuality and good honest but nosy people. I will definitely read more.
