ISBN: 978-0143119531
In the latest mystery from award-winner Craig Johnson, Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire finds himself in the throes of a modern-day range war.
With characters and a story that stay with you long after you put it down, this is an exceptional story told by an exceptional storyteller. A mystery unlike any I have ever read, Junkyard Dogs is as thought provoking as it is readable, as rich and beautiful as the Wyoming sky under which it is set.
In expertly weaving together threads of revenge with the redeeming power of humor, integrity, and friendship, Mr. Johnson is an authentic voice. His gift for bringing to life the emptiness, majesty and struggle of the Western landscape and the people it forges has created characters that will stay with you for a long time.
Complex issues against the backdrop of sagebrush and Western skies. Junkyard Dogs is a powerful addition to the series dealing with that hard but beautiful part of America we call the West. Though the story can stand by itself, the reader will get a great deal more out of it by having read the previous books. Definitely a five-star read.
CRAIG JOHNSON is the author of the Walt Longmire mystery series and is the recipient of the Western Writers of America Spur Award for fiction, the Mountains and Plains Booksellers Award for Fiction, and the Nouvel Observateur Prix du Roman Noir. Craig will embark on a fourteen-city author tour in June. He lives with his wife, Judy, in Ucross, Wyoming—population twenty-five.
