Opis

Sheriff Walt Longmire is enjoying a beer when a younger sheriff confronts him with a photograph of twenty-five armed men standing in front of a Challenger steam locomotive. The photograph--and an upcoming parole hearing for one of the most dangerous men Walt has encountered--hurtles the sheriff into a head-on collision of past and present, placing him squarely on the tracks of runaway revenge.

Recenzje

Praise for The Western Star:

Walt Longmire still bears the impenetrable stoicism of the American West balanced with an irrepressible humanity . . . he is balanced, like the West itself, by poetry, sensitivity and culture a character of tremendous strength and sometimes surprising violence.
The Washington Post
 
All aboard! The Longmire train is in the station, and you don't want to miss this one.

Bestseller Johnson pays homage to Agatha Christie in his cleverly plotted [The Western Star] . . . And [he] winds up the whodunit with a solution that Christie could never have imagined.
Publishers Weekly

Entertaining and suspenseful.
The Washington Times

[The Western Star is] an excellent addition to [Craig Johnson s] Longmire series. Whether a fan of the book or Netflix series, the reader will enjoy the fast-paced action and crisp dialogue.
Deseret News

Extraordinary . . . delightful . . . Readers are reminded that as compassionate and fair-minded Walt has become, there remains at his core a ruthless protective instinct for those he loves.

More praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series:

Like the greatest crime novelists, Johnson is a student of human nature. Walt Longmire is strong but fallible, a man whose devil-may-care stoicism masks a heightened sensitivity to the horrors he s witnessed.
Los Angeles Times

Johnson s trademarks [are] great characters, witty banter, serious sleuthing, and a love of Wyoming bigger than a stack of derelict cars.
The Boston Globe

Stepping into Walt s world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and it s where those slippers lead that provides a thrill. Johnson pens a series that should become a must read, so curl up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride.
The Denver Post
