Welcome to Walt Longmire's worst nightmare. In Craig Johnson's latest mystery, Depth of Winter, an international hit man and the head of one of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico has kidnapped Walt's beloved daughter, Cady, to auction her off to his worst enemies, of which there are many. The American government is of limited help and the Mexican one even less. Walt heads into the one-hundred-and-ten degree heat of the Northern Mexican desert alone, one man against an army.

      Listeners are in for a change of scenery in the latest Sheriff Longmire mystery, and despite the title, it's the dusty heat of the Mexican desert. George Guidall, the longtime narrator of the series, captures Longmire's sense of urgency from the outset. Cady, Longmire's beloved and feisty daughter, has been kidnapped by the baddest of the bad Mexican drug lords, Tomas Bodarte. Walt's singular focus to get her back is evident in the extreme risks he takes and in Guidall's pace and tone. Walt's trademark absurd--often hilarious--problem solving is on full display, and the good-versus-evil struggles of these new characters make for totally satisfying listening. Series fans may miss Henry Standing Bear and Vic Moretti, but listeners can take heart that this is certainly not Walt's last rodeo, and newcomers have much to explore in previous escapades.

      Starred review from July 23, 2018
      Bestseller Johnson’s harrowing 14th mystery featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire (after 2016’s The Western Star) takes the Wyoming lawman to Mexico, where ruthless killer Tomás Bidarte holds Walt’s grown daughter, Cady, captive in a remote mountain compound in the middle of the Chihuahua desert. The six-foot-four Walt faces formidable obstacles in rescuing Cady, not least being his attention-drawing size. Fortunately, one of his allies on this suicidal mission, a blind man known as the Seer, thinks to pass him off as real-life retired NFL star Bob Lilly, a ruse that works for a while. Once Walt and his team arrive at the compound, the trouble really begins. The tension lets up only intermittently as Walt lurches from one dire situation to another. Humorous asides and witty dialogue provide welcome relief from the often grim circumstances in which Walt finds himself, including a stint in the stocks during a Day of the Dead celebration and the climactic confrontation with Bidarte, who plays matador to Walt’s bull. Johnson is in fine form. Author tour. Agent: Gail Hochman, Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents.
