Publisher Description
Sheriff Walt Longmire brings Western-style justice to Philadelphia in this action-packed thriller from the New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson
The hit drama Longmire is now streaming on Paramount+
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.
“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
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.
Customer Reviews
Kindness Goes Unpunished by Craig Johnson
The Longmire series is very entertaining and well written. They are a fun read that will hold your interest. Kindness Goes Unpunished as it is set in Philly versus Walt's home in Wyoming
Another Great One!
Craig Johnson, author of the Longmire novels adapted into a Netflix series, wrote this book outside of the fictional Absaroka County, Wyoming, home of Sheriff Longmire. Walter finds himself in Philadelphia, where his daughter was assaulted and seriously injured. Sheriff Longmire, the Philadelphia Police Department, Henry Standing Bear, and the Moretti Family, including Vic, assist in the pursuit of justice. This is a compelling story that comes highly recommended.
Great read, highly recommend
This series and this book in particular is really absorbing, it pulls you through the book. My reading is usually one chapter at a time, this one I read at a 2-3 chapter clip. I love the characters, particularly Walt and Vic and their interactions, but also Bear. The story lines are twisted enough to keep you guessing and packed thru with interesting info related to story.
