What this book is about
The fourteenth Longmire novel is the most action-driven in the series: when Cady is abducted by a Mexican cartel, Walt crosses the border alone to rescue her. No jurisdiction, no backup, no rules. Johnson strips the Wyoming formula down to a survival thriller and reveals what Longmire is when the law cannot protect what he loves.
