Sherrif Walt Longmire has a problem. A Vietnamese girl is found dead in a field. In a nearby culvert, a homeless Indian is sound asleep. Even though it would seem obvious that the Indian with his previous record of homicide is the killer, Walt isn't convinced. As Walt with the help of his deputies and his friend, Henry, attempt to solve the case, Walt is drawn back to his own time in Vietnam. Fighting with his own memories, Walt is unsure if he is biased about the case or not.
As usual, Craig Johnson has written a story that keeps the reader drawn in. His characters are wonderful and in this fourth book, they seem like old friends. There was less romance in this book and that was fine. I'm not a big fan of the sherrif and his deputy getting together. At times, this book was confusing, as the story went back and forth between the present day and Walt's time in Vietnam. I would also have enjoyed more of an update on Walt's daughter and her head injury. Once again, she was something of a secondary character.
Rating - 4 stars
