As a large and masculine man, Walt Longmire, Sheriff for
Absaroka County, is normally a person not to be trifled
with, despite the fact his local town of Durant, Wyoming is
ready to retire his number. Not him as elected Sheriff,
but his old football number. A simpler time Walt can
barely remember.
Yet, despite Walt's stature and authority as a Sheriff, the
unexpected appearance of a young homeless teenager named
Cord who had been called "an angel" for his help and a
zany old man claiming to be almost 200 years old manage to
play havoc with normal police operations. Despite the jokes
to his pride and reputation, Walt takes it in stride as he
attempts to find out more about Cord's background,
especially as he seems to be a "lost boy" from a Mormon
splinter group that are intent on keeping everyone away
from their operation.
But, things take a stark and serious turn as Walt attempts
to follow a lead from another county sheriff on tracking
down the boy's mother, Sarah Tisdale. As Walt and his
Deputy Sheriff Victoria (Vic) Monetti discover some very
interesting family twists and connections, the armed
resistance from the polygamist sect escalates and lives are
endangered. Where has happened to Sarah? What is really
going on behind the locked gates of the sect?
A SERPENT'S TOOTH is New York Times bestselling author
Craig Johnson's ninth mystery story involving the sharp
shooting and well experienced Sheriff Walt Longmire who is
also the inspiration for the A&E drama Longmire, now in its
second season on TV. Long standing fans are sure to be
captivated by this latest Longmire adventure in the series
set in the wide expanse of rural Wyoming which also reads
well as a stand-alone book.
The theme of this story is more raw, violent, and masculine
oriented than his last book, AS THE CROW FLIES, with lots
of heavy firepower action as Walt and his good friend Henry
Standing Bear (aka Cheyenne Nation) often chose immediate
action with uncertain results over waiting for more backup.
Yet, the story stays real to the reader due to Johnson's
deft hand in developing intriguing, yet believable
characters and by the interspersing of humourous
situations and colourful language. The ending is powerful
and fans, both new and old, will want to find out if
anything happens between Walt and his tough as nails
beautiful Deputy as well as who is really behind the big
money and expensive guns. So, don't miss out and get your
copy now!
