The success of Craig Johnson' s Walt Longmire series that began with The Cold Dish continues to grow after A&E' s hit show Longmire introduced new fans to the Wyoming sheriff.

It' s homecoming in Absaroka County, but the football and festivities are interrupted when a homeless boy wanders into town. A Mormon " lost boy," Cord Lynear is searching for his missing mother but clues are scarce. Longmire and his companions, feisty deputy Victoria Moretti and longtime friend Henry Standing Bear, embark on a high plains scavenger hunt in hopes of reuniting mother and son. The trail leads them to an interstate polygamy group that' s presiding over a stockpile of weapons and harboring a vicious vendetta.

      This series is the inspiration for A&E's show "Longmire," but fans know the audiobooks are much different--and better! This is thanks to narrator George Guidall's perfect character portrayals. Guidall's depiction of Walt Longmire brings the hardheaded, tough, yet emotional Wyoming sheriff to life. He's also perfect as Vic, the foul-mouthed, feisty undersheriff, and best of all as Walt's deep-voiced, steadfast Native American friend, Henry Standing Bear. In this ninth book of the series, Longmire and his friends investigate a missing woman and encounter a polygamous cult involved with serious crimes, including stockpiling weapons and stealing oil. While the plot is sometimes confusing and far-fetched, the characters and Guidall's impeccable performance make the story work. M.M.G.

      Starred review from March 18, 2013
      Just in time for the second season of the A&E TV series Longmire comes bestseller Johnson’s deeply satisfying ninth Walt Longmire novel (after 2012’s As the Crow Flies). On the personal front, the Wyoming sheriff worries about his deepening relationship with Victoria “Vic” Moretti, his intelligent undersheriff, because of their age difference and because he’s the boss. A more serious worry for Walt is Cord Lynear, who appears to be about 15 and is looking for his mother. A delusional homeless man appoints himself Cord’s bodyguard. Cord turns out to be a “lost boy,” kicked out of a secretive polygamous group led by his stepfather, Roy Lynear, which has been putting down roots in nearby states. Although the zealots use teenage guards so inexperienced they don’t even know where the safety is on their guns, nothing is amateurish about the thugs who control the compound. Suspense propels the brisk plot, complemented by a sly sense of humor and a breathtaking look at Wyoming. 12-city author tour. Agent: Gail Hochman, Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents.
