About this ebook

From the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves, a modern-day ranch war takes place in the sixth Longmire novel 

Junkyard Dogs, the sixth installment in the New York Times bestselling Longmire Mystery Series, the basis for LONGMIRE, the hit Netflix original drama series, takes us to Durant, Wyoming. It's a volatile new economy in Durant when the owners of a multimillion-dollar development of ranchettes want to get rid of the adjacent Stewart junkyard. Meeting the notorious Stewart clan is an adventure unto itself, and when conflict erupts—and someone ends up dead—Sheriff Walt Longmire, his lifelong friend Henry Standing Bear, and deputies Santiago Saizarbitoria and Victoria Moretti find themselves in a small town that feels more and more like a high-plains pressure cooker.

Walt Longmire is up to his badge in the darker aspects of human nature, making his way through the case with a combination of love, laughs, and derelict automobiles.

Ratings and reviews

I am just near the end of this truly entertaining, mystery within mystery book by Craig Johnson. The characters have become my friends and what happens to them alternates between hilarious and devastating. On Grampus being towed behind the grandchildren's car on 100 ft. of rope... the first chapter made me laugh until I cried. Keep on writing Craig. !!!

Craig Johnson is remarkable. His stories are page turners, funny, poignant and full of memorable and well developed characters. But the real treasure of his books is the pleasure of every line he writes. I want to savor each line..,,,..each precious word. His understanding of human nature and deep empathy creates real, living, breathing people....ones I pause to cry with and laugh with. Each new book brings moments to savor.

Couldn't put it down and, like the last book, I thought I had the baddie tagged, but I was surprised again :o) I am so hooked on Longmire, both the books AND the series
