What this book is about
The sixth Longmire novel opens with a hit-and-run in Absaroka County that connects to a bitter family land dispute involving a junkyard, buried environmental violations, and three generations of bad blood. Craig Johnson uses the Western landscape to examine what families become when money and land are what love looks like — and what happens when that curdles into something violent.
