Walt doubts a confession of murder in this novel from the New York Times bestselling author Wade Barsad, a man with a dubious past and a gift for making enemies, burned his wife Mary' s horses in their barn; in retribution, she shot him in the head six times, or so the story goes. But Sheriff Walt Longmire doesn' t believe Mary' s confession and is determined to dig deeper. Unpinning his star to pose as an insurance investigator, Walt visits the Barsad ranch and discovers that everyone in town--including a beautiful Guetemalan bartender and a rancher with a taste for liquor--had a reason for wanting Wade dead.

Praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series "It' s the scenery-and the big guy standing in front of the scenery-that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson' s lean and leathery mysteries. " -The New York Times Book Review "Johnson' s hero only gets better-both at solving cases and at hooking readers-with age. " -Publishers Weekly "Like the greatest crime novelists, Johnson is a student of human nature. Walt Longmire is strong but fallible, a man whose devil-may-care stoicism masks a heightened sensitivity to the horrors he' s witnessed. " -Los Angeles Times "Johnson' s trademarks [are] great characters, witty banter, serious sleuthing, and a love of Wyoming bigger than a stack of derelict cars. " -The Boston Globe "The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence. " -The New York Times "[Walt Longmire] is an easy man to like. . . . Johnson evokes the rugged landscape with reverential prose, lending a heady atmosphere to his story. " -The Philadelphia Inquirer "Stepping into Walt' s world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and it' s where those slippers lead that provides a thrill. Johnson pens a series that should become a ' must' read, so curl up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride. " -The Denver Post "Johnson' s pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps. " -Entertainment Weekly
Craig Johnson has a background in law enforcement and education. He lives in Ucross, Wyoming, population 25.
