What this book is about
The second Walt Longmire mystery finds an elderly woman dead at a nursing home in a way that looks peaceful but isn't. Longmire's investigation uncovers a fifty-year-old love story rooted in Wyoming's Basque ranching community and the violence that ended it. Craig Johnson deepens his cast — Henry Standing Bear, deputy Victoria Moretti, and the landscape itself — while the mystery reveals the long reach of old sins.
