Any Other Name - Longmire, Bk 10
Author: Craig Johnson

Sheriff Walt Longmire is sinking into a high-plains winter discontent when his former boss, Lucian Connally, asks him to take on a mercy case outside his jurisdiction. Detective Gerald Holman of neighboring Campbell County is dead, and Lucian wants to know what drove his old friend, a by-the-book lawman with a wife and daughter, to take his own life.

Another good entry in the Longmire series. I have been reading these on and off since seeing the now complete TV series which I really enjoyed. It's been a while since I read one of these but I'm sure I'll be reading more sooner than later. In this one, Longmire travels to a neighboring county to look into the suicide of an investigator named Gerald Holman who was a friend of Longmire's old boss, Lucian Connally. So why would a respected detective commit suicide? Longmire starts looking at the cases Holman was working on and finds that there are three women who have gone missing from the area. Are these missing women connected in some way? Longmire and Lucian, along with an investigator from the neighboring county, start digging through the cases to try to find out what happened. This all leads to some nefarious doings at a small town that includes a strip club, a casino in nearby Deadwood, South Dakota, and an abandoned lodge that was once the summer White House for President Coolidge. All of this takes place in the dead of winter and includes a run in with a herd of buffalo and some help from Henry Standing Bear and Undersheriff Vic Moretti.

This was a thrilling and compelling entry in the series. At the end Longmire's daughter Cady gives birth in Philadelphia. Will Longmire make it there in time? And someone has a hit out on Longmire which leads a good opening to the next in the series. I may have to get it from the library to continue this saga.
