About this audiobook

In an investigation that spans this world and the next, Sheriff Walt Longmire and his best friend Henry Standing Bear take on a case that pits them against a legend: The Highwayman

When Wyoming Highway Patrolman Rosey Wayman is transferred from Walt’s jurisdiction to the beautiful and imposing landscape of the Wind River Canyon, she starts receiving mysterious “officer needs assistance” calls—despite the area’s notorious lack of radio communication. More inexplicable still,
they seem to be coming from Bobby Womack, a legendary Arapaho patrolman who met a fiery death in the canyon almost a half century ago. With no one else able to hear the calls, Rosey’s supervisor begins to doubt her sanity—until Walt and Henry Standing Bear arrive on the scene, determined to find
the troublemaker who is surely playing a prank on their former colleague. But after a few days in the misty, enigmatic canyon, they discover that the mystery goes much deeper than they’d imagined. Will Walt and Henry be able to put things to right, both for Rosey and The Highwayman himself?

An otherworldly tale that has even confirmed skeptic Walt contemplating the existence of ghosts, The Highwayman is a wonderfully entertaining story starring the hero of the New York Times bestselling Longmire series.
