Wyoming's favorite sheriff braves a frozen inferno as he races to capture an escaped murderer. Well-read and world-weary, Sheriff Walt Longmire has been maintaing order in Wyoming's Absaroka County for more than thirty years, but in this riveting seventh outing, he is pushed to his limits. Raynaud Shade, an adopted Crow Indian, has just confessed to murdering a boy ten years ago and burying him deep within the Big Horn Mountains. After transporting Shade and a group of other convicted murderers through a snowstorm, Walt is informed by the FBI that the body is buried in his jurisdiction-and the victim's name is White Buffalo. Guided only by Indian mysticism and a battered paperback of Dante's Inferno, Walt pursues Shade and his fellow escapees into the icy hell of the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area, cheating death to ensure that justice-both civil and spiritual-is served.

AudiobookOkay, I wanted to complain that the ending (with all of the struggling and almost dying) is like a previous book in this series but the author mentions that at the end of this book - that Walt Longmire is again sitting on the porch healing, looking at the horizon, trying to come to terms wi...
Where Junkyard Dogs started off with a chuckle inducing bang, this one starts slower, and makes it clear early on that creepy and foreboding are going to be the order of the day. We join Walt and Deputy Santiago 'Sancho' Saizarbitoria as they're transporting three felons to meet up with a p...
I saw the TV version of Hell is Empty after I bought the book. When I realized I had seen the episode (and it sucked), I got a little worried. I'm here to tell you, the book is everything that the TV episode is not, so don't compare the two.To begin, yes. The premise of the book is a little outrageo...
Another great Longmire book. And like the book before, it was impossible to stop reading when the story took off.
