Publisher Description
The fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Longmire series, featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire.
When the body of a young Vietnamese woman is found alongside the interstate in Absaroka County, Sheriff Walt Longmire is determined to discover the identity of the victim and is forced to confront the horrible similarities of this murder to that of his first homicide case as a Marine investigator in Vietnam. To complicate matters, Virgil White Buffalo, a Crow Indian, is found living in a nearby culvert and in possession of the young woman's purse.
There are only two problems with what appears to be an open-and-shut case. One, the sheriff doesn't think Virgil White Buffalo - a Vietnam vet with a troubling past - is a murderer. And two, the photo that is found in the woman's purse looks hauntingly familiar to Walt.
'A rising star' Los Angeles Times
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.

Past & Present
Another fine & enjoyable Longmire. A little history & a little present served like prairie oysters though perhaps easier to digest.
Not quite as good as the previous three
This is the fourth book in the series and it’s pretty good, but not quite as good as the previous three. It’s hard to say why, the dialogue is crisp and the story is well handled, but the interjections from the Vietnam war seem somewhat unnecessary, even though they have a strong bearing on the story and it’s outcome. Maybe these affect the pace of the book, which again, doesn’t seem as tense as the previous three. I still enjoyed it, though.
