What this book is about
The third Longmire novel takes Walt out of Wyoming and to Philadelphia, where his daughter Cady is working as a lawyer. When Cady is found near death after an assault, Longmire and Henry Standing Bear must navigate the city entirely outside their element while hunting whoever tried to kill his daughter. Johnson's fish-out-of-water premise lets him explore what makes Longmire tick away from the landscape that defines him.
