Walt brings Western-style justice to Philadelphia in this action-packed thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves
Walt Longmire has been Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, for almost a quarter of a century, but when he joins his good friend Henry Standing Bear on a trip to the City of Brotherly Love to see his daughter, Cady, he's in for a shock. Walt hasn't even put his boots up when Cady is viciously attacked and left near death on the steps of the Franklin Institute. He soon discovers that she has unwittingly become involved in a deadly political cover-up. Backed by Henry, Dog, Deputy Victoria Moretti, and the entire Moretti posse of Philadelphia police officers, Walt unpacks his saddlebag of tricks to mete out some Western-style justice.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Johnson's appealing third Walt Longmire mystery (after 2006's\t\t Death Without Company), the Wyoming sheriff\t\t is drawn into a messy situation in the City of Brotherly Love when his daughter\t\t Cady's ex-boyfriend is killed a few days after Longmire accuses him of being\t\t behind the assault that left Cady, a Philadelphia lawyer, comatose. Longmire's\t\t deputy, Victoria Moretti, soon arrives on the scene as her family of Philly\t\t cops tries to decide whether to suspect Longmire of murder or ask his help with\t\t the investigation. Everyone in the cast appears to be a stereotype of some\t\t sort "the Italian police clan, the Salvadoran drug dealer, the Irish publican\t\t and Longmire's eternally wise and mystical Cheyenne friend, Henry Standing\t\t Bear "but Johnson plays it for the right kind of laughs. When someone\t\t introduces Henry as Longmire's "Native American sidekick," Longmire ripostes\t\t that it's the other way around. The quick pace and tangled web of\t\t interconnected crimes will keep readers turning pages.
