I am delighted to be able to offer one lucky reader copies
of A SERPENT’S TOOTH and the new TV tie-in edition of DEATH WITHOUT COMPANY,
the second book in the series. For all the details on how to win, see below.
Fresh from Longmire, which had the best freshman season in
total viewers for any A&E series, scripted or non-fiction, in the network’s
history, Craig Johnson returns with his ninth Walt Longmire mystery, A
SERPENT’S TOOTH ! This time Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire finds himself in the
crosshairs of a brewing religious war.
It’s homecoming for the Durant Dogies football team when
teenaged Cord Lynear, a Mormon ‘lost boy,’ forced off his compound for
rebellious behavior, shows up in Absaroka County. Without much guidance—divine
or otherwise—Sheriff Walt Longmire, his second-in-command Victoria Moretti, and
his good friend Henry Standing Bear, search for the boy’s mother. They find
themselves in a high plains scavenger hunt that ends at the barbed wire
doorstep of an interstate polygamy group that has recently set up shop in the
neighboring town of Short Drop. The group, run by Cord’s stepfather, the
four-hundred pound polygamist Roy Lynear, is frighteningly well-armed and too
good at keeping secrets.
Meanwhile, the Absaroka County jail is getting crowded with
the arrival of Orrin Porter Rockwell, a dangerous and delusional old man who
claims he was blessed in the flesh by Joseph Smith, and who has appointed
himself Cord’s bodyguard.
As Walt and Vic pursue the Lynears, things heat up in both
the investigation and their personal lives; butting heads with the well-armed
zealots, they hear whispers of Big Oil and the CIA and find that even with
Henry Standing Bear’s assistance, they may be in for more than they had
bargained for.
