Craig Johnson keeps his readers entertained with another
Walt Longmire novel, in
ANY OTHER NAME.
Longmire gets a request from his old boss, Lucian Connally,
a sheriff in Wyoming, to help investigate a suicide of a
friend and co-worker.
Before Gerald Holman takes his life in a nearby motel, he
had been working on
several investigations. Is there a link? If so, what could
have been so bad that a
man of his status would end his life without any indications
to why?
That is what
Walt Longmire is here to do. To find the answers he will
stop at nothing thus fulfilling his reputation.
Longmire has many questions that come up in his
investigation. The last three
files that Holman was working on were missing women reports.
He wonders if the
three cases could be related, but he can not find a link
that connects
them.
In
further search and questioning of the locals, Longmire gets
more town dirt than
he bargained for as well as many visits to the local Kmart.
Further
complicating things, he finds out that there is a
professional hit man hired to
end his efforts at solving this case. To make things worse,
Longmire's daughter is
expecting her first child, and expecting her father to be
there. With the help of
the many of the local sheriff department's men, his under
sheriff, Victoria Moretti,
and a Cheyenne Nation, Henry Standing Bear, Longmire does
not give up and
continues to search for and follow leads that bring him up
against man and beast
alike even in the darkest of night. He has four days to
solve this case, to stay
alive, and to make it to a very important delivery.
If you love a mystery with the western feel, then you will
love The Longmire
Mystery series. Johnson did a great job in ANY OTHER
NAME with a hint of humor and a
captivating story line and all would enjoy reading.
A sheriff’s mysterious death spurs the new novel in the
New York Times bestselling Walt Longmire
series
Sheriff Walt Longmire had already
rounded up a sizable posse of devoted readers when the
A&E television series Longmire sent the Wyoming lawman’s
popularity skyrocketing. Now, with three consecutive New
York Times bestsellers to his name and the second season
of Longmire reaching an
average of 5.4 million
viewers per episode, Craig Johnson is reaching a fan base
that is both fiercely loyal and ever growing.
In
Any Other Name, Walt is sinking into high-
plains
winter discontent when his former boss, Lucian Conally, asks
him to take on a mercy case in an adjacent county. Detective
Gerald Holman is dead and Lucian wants to know what drove
his old friend to take his own life. With the clock ticking
on the birth of his first grandchild, Walt learns that the
by-the-book detective might have suppressed evidence
concerning three missing women. Digging deeper, Walt
uncovers an incriminating secret so dark that it threatens
to claim other lives even before the sheriff can serve
justice—Wyoming style.
