Depth of Winter

Publisher Description

“It’s the scenery—and the big guy standing in front of the scenery—that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson’s lean and leathery mysteries.”
The New York Times Book Review


The hit drama Longmire is now streaming on Paramount+

Walt journeys into the northern Mexican desert alone to save his daughter Cady, who has been kidnapped by the cartel


Welcome to Walt Longmire's worst nightmare. Winter is creeping closer, but for Sheriff Longmire this one is looking to be harsh in a way to which he is wholly unaccustomed. He has found himself in the remotest parts of the northern Mexican desert, a lawless place where no horse or car can travel, where no one speaks his language or trusts an outsider, far from his friends and his home turf back in Wyoming. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Tomas Bidarte, the head of one of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico, has kidnapped Walt's beloved daughter, Cady. The American government is of limited help and the Mexican one even less so. Armed with his trusty Colt .45 and a father's intuition, Walt must head into the 110-degree heat of the desert, one man against an army.

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“I know this one is late but I had the flu while I was reading this one. What a parent wouldn’t do to save their child. Walt not only rescued a kidnapped Candy from Tomas Bidarte, he also made sure justice was served for Michael as well. Along the way he learned not to leave loose ends like Culpepper multiple times.”
“Walt has headed to Mexico to rescue Cady. He should probably wait for help, but the government moves so slowly that he knows he needs to move fast and get there himself. He recruits some help along the way - people who will know how to get to the location where Cady is being held and how to navigate the cartel offshoots that dot the landscape. But it won't be easy. Every step along the way is a chance for the enemy to attack and eliminate Walt. He's okay with that, though, as long as Cady is safe. This was an incredibly tense book. Walt had no indication that anyone would come to help him - and in fact, none of the regular crew did. But that's okay because he meets people along the way who are willing to help him, sometimes at great risk. Cady was, for once, not annoying - she was simply collateral damage. But Walt could have solved all their problems a lot sooner if he had just killed a few people. I know he has ethics and was sworn to protect and serve (as he mentioned multiple times) but I think killing murderous drug cartel members who torture and sell people would be okay.”
