A few years ago Craig Johnson emerged on the mystery writing scene with an outstanding debut novel, The Cold Dish. He has just published the 4th book in the Walt Longmire series titled Another Man’s Moccasins.
Walt Longmire is a sheriff in Absaroka, Wyoming. He’s a man who has been around the traps for many years and has a quiet, steady way about him that gets the job done. The beautiful wilds of Wyoming play a part in setting the tone to his books.
Another Man’s Moccasin’s description from the inside cover flap.
When the body of a young Vietnamese woman is found alongside the interstate in Absaroka County, Sheriff Walt Longmire is determined to discover the identity of the victim and is forced to confront the horrible similarities of this murder to that of his first homicide case as a Marine investigator in Vietnam.
To complicate matters, Virgil White Buffalo, a Crow Indian, is found living in a nearby culvert and in possession of the young woman’s purse.
There are only two problems with what appears to be an open-and-shut case. One, the sheriff doesn’t think Virgil White Buffalo - a Vietnam vet with a troubled past – is a murderer. And two, the photo that is found in the woman’s purse looks hauntingly familiar to Walt.
