seriousness when things are a bit more emotional. This
story takes Sheriff
Longmire on another adventure with all your favorites.
Walt Longmire is the sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming
where anything
can happen, and usually does. The locals are out to "Save
Jen" the fossils of a
Tyrannosaurus Rex that Cheyenne tribe member had claimed
that she belongs to
him. She was found on the Cheyenne land. Then he is found
dead and Sheriff
Longmire, with his trusty undersheriff Victoria Moretti
along with Dog and the
help of others, have to find out how all of this is
connected and why. To make
things worse, Longmire has personal family matters to deal
with as well. Will
Longmire get to the bottom of who really owns the biggest
find ever?
DRY BONES is packed with the amusing characters that we
have grown to

jumping into the series for
the first time with this novel you will quickly understand
everyone's relationships
with each other. You'll love the connections Longmire has
with his locals with my
favorite being with Victoria, his under-sheriff and love
interest. Their display of
seriousness in their work but also the flirtation during
those not so serious
situations all happens in the appropriate times.

In the latest installment of Craig Johnson’s New York Times bestselling Longmire series, Wyoming’s beloved lawman takes on his coldest case yet When Jen, the largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found surfaces in Sherriff Walt Longmire’s jurisdiction, it appears to be a windfall for the High Plains Dinosaur Museum—until Danny Lone Elk, the Cheyenne rancher on whose property the remains were discovered, turns up dead, floating face down in a turtle pond. With millions of dollars at stake, a number of groups step forward to claim her, including Danny’s family, the tribe, and the federal government. As Wyoming’s Acting Deputy Attorney and a cadre of FBI officers descend on the town, Walt is determined to find out who would benefit from Danny’s death, enlisting old friends Lucian Connolly and Omar Rhoades, along with Dog and best friend Henry Standing Bear, to trawl the vast Lone Elk ranch looking for answers to a sixty-five million year old cold case that’s heating up fast.
