Have Courage
ByPublisher Description
A new collection of fifteen wintry Longmire stories by the beloved author of the New York Times bestselling series
Walt Longmire, sheriff of Absaroka County, investigates a series of eccentric small-town crises in fifteen stories unfolding around Christmas. An old dog mysteriously escapes the animal shelter night after night. A deputy deploys an unexpected diversion during a hostage standoff. The baby Jesus vanishes from a nativity scene. And Walt faces one of his most challenging assignments yet: caring for a 150-year-old sourdough starter, while apprehending a seven-year-old suspect with the diction of a 1930s gumshoe.
With a foreword by Longmire actor A. Martinez, Have Courage is a gripping and open-hearted holiday collection—rich with humor, humanity, and the high jinks of Craig Johnson’s Absaroka County.
