The success of Craig Johnson’s Walt Longmire series that
began with The Cold Dish continues to grow after A&E’s hit
show Longmire introduced new fans to the Wyoming sheriff. As
the Crow Flies marked the series’ highest debut on the New
York Times bestseller list. Now, in his ninth Western
mystery, Longmire stares down his most dangerous foes yet.
It’s homecoming for the Durant Dogies when Cord Lynear, a
Mormon “lost boy” forced off his compound for rebellious
behavior, shows up in Absaroka County. Without much
guidance, divine or otherwise, Sheriff Walt Longmire,
Victoria Moretti, and Henry Standing Bear search for the
boy’s mother and find themselves on a high-plains scavenger
hunt that ends at the barbed-wire doorstep of an interstate
polygamy group. Run by four-hundred-pound Roy Lynear, Cord’s
father, the group is frighteningly well armed and very good
at keeping secrets.
Walt’s got Cord locked up for his own good, but the Absaroka
County jailhouse is getting crowded since the arrival of the
boy’s self-appointed bodyguard, a dangerously spry old man
who claims to be blessed by Joseph Smith himself. As Walt,
Vic, and Henry butt heads with the Lynears, they hear
whispers of Big Oil and the CIA and fear they might be
dealing with a lot more than they bargained for.
