About this ebook

Walt brings Western-style justice to Philadelphia in this action-packed thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves

Walt Longmire has been Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, for almost a quarter of a century, but when he joins his good friend Henry Standing Bear on a trip to the City of Brotherly Love to see his daughter, Cady, he's in for a shock. Walt hasn't even put his boots up when Cady is viciously attacked and left near death on the steps of the Franklin Institute. He soon discovers that she has unwittingly become involved in a deadly political cover-up. Backed by Henry, Dog, Deputy Victoria Moretti, and the entire Moretti posse of Philadelphia police officers, Walt unpacks his saddlebag of tricks to mete out some Western-style justice.

Ratings and reviews

Craig Johnson is a consummate writer, insightful, with a deep understsnding of the human psyche; an intelligent, learned, and erudite, and an exception to the stereotypical western sherrif. His boo kms drae you in, and never let you go.

Love Longmire stories. And after watching the TV shows for a few years, I enjoyed the stories even more. Great read if you like wide open places.

Once again Mr. Johnson delivers with fantastic precision only this time in Philadelphia. The story line and writing is second to none. Great read!
