"He's like a gun; once you point him and pull the trigger, it's too late to change your mind."
Sheriff Walt Longmire is sinking into a high-plains winter discontent when his former boss Lucian Connally asks him to take on a special case: A detective is dead, and Lucian wants to know what drove this by-the-book lawman to take his own life. With the clock ticking on the birth of
Walt's first grandchild, he enlists the help of his friend Henry Standing Bear and undersheriff Vic Moretti, and ends up elbow-deep in a cold case involving three missing women. Walt follows the blood trail from a casino in Deadwood to a lodge in the snowy Black Hills of South Dakota
to a shady strip club in the neighboring county, uncovering a secret so dark it threatens to claim other lives before the sheriff can serve justice—Wyoming style.

      This action-packed new Walt Longmire adventure has the heroic high-plains sheriff investigating a fellow lawman’s suicide. This requires looking into the late detective’s last case, a cold one involving three county women who went missing some time ago. The trail leads him to Deadwood and the Black Hills of South Dakota. There’s a shoot-out in a blinding snowfall that amidst a large herd of stampeding buffalo, an episode in which two trains race to avoid a head-on collision, and some breathlessly suspenseful moments with Longmire about to be crushed by thousands of pounds of coal. Guidall’s at his avuncular best as Longmire, the novel’s wryly self-deprecating narrator. He also provides an appropriately gravelly croak for the sheriff’s hard-drinking retired boss, Lucian Connally, a deep native American accent for crony Henry Standing Bear, and appropriate assorted masculine voices for the male-heavy cast. He finds a little room in his larynx to squeak out a few respectable female voices, too, leading with undersheriff Vic Moretti. It’s a fast, occasionally funny, non-stop audio thrill ride. A Viking hardcover.

      Listeners have been lucky--George Guidall has delivered all the installments in Johnson's Walt Longmire series. When the Wyoming sheriff is called in to investigate the suicide of cold case reviewer Gerald Holman, he ends up on the trail of three missing women. Time is against him (he must get to his daughter's side for the birth of his first grandchild) as are the elements (deep snowfall) and even a herd of buffalo--and that doesn't include all the people who are shooting at him. The regulars from previous books are all here--Dog, Vic, Henry Running Bear, and Lucian--and Guidall is completely comfortable with all of their voices. Series followers will greet them as old friends, but new listeners may be better off starting with earlier titles as Johnson doesn't waste words recapping who's who.

      A not-quite-cold case preoccupies Walt Longmire in bestseller Johnson’s top-notch 11th mystery featuring the Wyoming sheriff (after 2013’s novella Spirit of Steamboat). Walt reluctantly agrees to help his old boss and mentor, Lucian Connally, investigate the suicide of police detective Gerald Holman in neighboring Campbell County, even though Walt’s official powers stop at the Absaroka County line. Holman apparently shot himself because he had seen too much darkness in his job, but the last cases on Holman’s desk, involving three very different missing women, get Walt thinking. While it looks as if the women just up and left their lives, Walt’s suspicion that the disappearances are connected proves correct. To his peril, he discovers that some people are prepared to go to any lengths to keep the big picture hidden. Meanwhile, Walt awaits the birth of his first grandchild in Philadelphia. Johnson’s hero only gets better—both at solving cases and at hooking readers—with age. 15-city author tour. Agent: Gail Hochman, Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents.
