"A masterful new novel in the beloved New York Times bestselling Longmire series
When Pepper McKay, one of the most hated men in Absaroka County, is found murdered on his ranch in Crazy Woman Canyon, suspects aren’t in short supply. But Sheriff Walt Longmire’s attention is on those who had gathered for a family meeting that evening, McKay’s very different sons: a smooth-talking charmer, a cosmopolitan journalist, a reclusive monk, and a half-Native ranch hand who keeps the place running. Each had a motive. Each claims he’s innocent.
As Walt investigates what happened that night at the O-Kay Lodge, he’s pulled into a tangle of old grudges and long-buried secrets. Then the case takes a sharp turn: a second body surfaces, and a wildfire tears through the canyon, trapping Walt and forcing him into a fight for his life as both the killer and the elements close in.
The twenty-second novel in the Longmire series, The Brothers McKay is a murder mystery and a survival thriller that tests the sheriff’s hard-won sense of justice—all while paying sly homage to Dostoevsky’s classic."

"THE PAST AND FUTURE COLLIDE IN THIS GRIPPING NEW ADDITION TO THE BELOVED NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING LONGMIRE SERIES
It’s the summer of 1964, and recent college graduates Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear read the writing on the wall and enlist to serve in the Vietnam War.
As they catch a few final waves in California before reporting for duty, a sudden storm assaults the shores and capsizes a nearby cargo boat. Walt and Henry jump to action, but it’s soon revealed by the police who greet them ashore that the sunken boat carried valuable contraband from underground sources.
The boys, in their early twenties and in the peak of their physical prowess from playing college football for the last four years, head out on Route 66. The question, of course, is how far they will get before the consequences of their actions catch up to them—the answer being, not very.
Back in the present day, Walt is forced to speak before a judge following the fatal events of The Longmire Defense. With powerful enemies lurking behind the scenes, the sheriff of Absaroka County must consider his options if he wishes to finish the fight he started.
Going back and forth between 1964 and the present day, Craig Johnson brings us a propulsive dual timeline as Walt Longmire stands between the crossfire of good and evil, law and anarchy, and compassion and cruelty at two pivotal stages in his life."
"Sheriff Walt Longmire uncovers a cold case that hits very close to home and forces him to put his life on the line with implications that some people would kill to keep buried forever
Sheriff Walt Longmire and Dog are called on a routine search and rescue to Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, where Walt finds himself on a rock outcropping remembering when his father told him about the first time he saw a man die.

no member of the elk camp—where he was found—was carrying the caliber rifle that killed the state accountant.

His investigation quickly finds ties to a hidden mineral fund that someone is willing to kill to keep secret. The embodiment of the fair-minded detective, Walt is pushed to his ethical boundaries. In his relentless
pursuit of the truth, he discovers the rifle in question belonged to none other than Walt’s infamous and uncompromising grandfather, Lloyd Longmire."

were covered in blood and missing a bullet from the gun holstered on your hip? What if there was something out there in the yellowed skies—along with the deceased and the smell of ash and dust—something the Northern Cheyenne refer to as the
Éveohtsé-heómese, the Wandering Without, the Stealer of Souls? What if the only way you know who you are is because your name is printed in the leather sweatband of your cowboy hat, and what if it says Walt Longmire—but you don’t remember him?"

"«Esta tercera entrega de la serie de Craig Johnson lo sitúa de nuevo al mismo nivel que Michael Connelly, Tony Hillerman y James Sallis. Su talento para dibujar personajes y lograr que sus reacciones físicas y emocionales ante la tragedia resulten verosímiles consigue que destaque y se haya hecho un hueco entre los iconos del género policiaco.» I Love a Mystery Walt Longmire lleva como sheriff del condado de Absaroka casi un cuarto de siglo, impartiendo justicia con chispeante sentido del humor. Es hora de tomarse un descanso y decide emprender un viaje con su buen amigo Henry Oso en Pie a Filadelfia, donde le espera una desagradable sorpresa: su hija, Cady, será víctima de un violento ataque que la dejará a las puertas de la muerte. Comienza entonces una investigación que provoca una reacción en cadena de violencia y muerte, y revela oscuros intereses políticos.

"PREMIO SNFC 2015 DE NOVELA POLICIACA EN FRANCIA
Absaroka, Wyoming, es el condado menos poblado del estado menos poblado de los Estados Unidos, así que encontrar el cuerpo sin vida de una joven asiática en la carretera del Oso Solitario, cerca de la Ruta 249, es cuando menos desconcertante. Así comienza un nuevo caso para el sheriff Longmire, con un gigantesco indio de turbulento pasado como único sospechoso.
