series, as well as three works of short fiction featuring the

beloved sheriff. His acclaimed books have won the Western

Writers of America’s Spur Award, the Will Rogers

mystery novel with the best sidekick, and the Wyoming

Historical Association’s Book of the Year award. They

have been named best books of the year byPublishers

WeeklyandLibrary Journal. With millions of devoted

readers, the series is also the inspiration forLongmire,

adapted for television by Warner Bros, and now the hit

Netflix show—now streaming all six seasons. Johnson lives

in Ucross, Wyoming, population 25.

In the fifteenth installment of theLongmireseries,Land

of Wolves, Johnson once again draws readers in to the

rugged and colorful world of Wyoming’s glorious landscape.

In Johnson’s last book,Depth of Winter, Walt’s beloved

daughter Cady was kidnapped by his longtime nemesis,

Tomás Bidarte, an international hit man and the head of one

of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico. InLand of

Wolves, while attempting to recover from his harrowing

experiences in Mexico, Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire is

neck deep in the investigation of what could or could not be

the suicidal hanging of a shepherd. With unsettling

connections to a Basque family with a reputation for

removing the legs of Absaroka County sheriffs, matters

become even more complicated with the appearance of an

oversize wolf in the Bighorn Mountains to whom Walt finds

himself feeling more and more empathetic.

“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.”
