About this ebook
'The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence' New York Times
After 25 years as Sheriff of Absaroka County, Walt Longmire's hopes of ending his tenure in peace are dashed when Cody Pritchard is found dead near the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Two years earlier, Cody was one of four high school boys given suspended sentences for raping a local Cheyenne girl. Somebody, it would seem, is seeking vengeance, and Longmire might be the only thing standing between the three remaining boys and a Sharps .45-70 rifle.
With lifelong friend Henry Standing Bear and Deputy Victoria Moretti Walt Longmire attempts to see that revenge, a dish best served cold, is never served at all.

This is a very thought out well written book. As one comment states it comes together with new peices of the story rather than previously told parts but that's why we have to read the next book as if the show is like the book you go over old ground quite often. Walt isn't someone in life you would warm up to immediately. He has a cold, hard exterior however that adds to his charm and mystique. Can't wait to read the next one.
