What this book is about
The eleventh Longmire novel opens with the discovery of a remarkably complete T. rex skeleton on a Wyoming ranch — the most valuable dinosaur ever found. When the rancher turns up dead, Longmire must untangle competing claims involving the Cheyenne nation, federal agencies, and a family with no shortage of reasons to want each other dead. Johnson brings his usual economic-political awareness to a premise that's as good as anything in the series.
