Tenth in the Longmire series, and it's another excellent entry. Lucian asks Walt to accompany him to Campbell County to give help to an old friend of Lucien's. Her husband, a cop, has committed suicide but she can't really accept that, he just wasn't the type to do it. Lucien sums up Walt perfectly when he says "I want to warn you that if you put Walter on this you're going to find out what it's all about, one way or the other...You sure you want that? Because he's like a gun; once you point him and pull the trigger, it's too late to change your mind." Walt quickly determines it was in fact suicide and now the question is, what could drive this reputedly inflexible lawman to kill himself? Henry Standing Bear and Vic Moretti show up as well, having received desperate phone calls from Walt's daughter Cady, who expects her dad to be at her side in Philadelphia while she gives birth...in 24 hours. There are tension-filled chase scenes, and the self-deprecating humor of Walt; some spiritual moments as well. I do feel bad for Cady who seems to go through the same crazy scene with her dad over and over again. But once again Walt finds the answer, even if it's one that doesn't give much consolation, and makes it to Cady in time. These are really fast reads for me, I usually manage to finish them in about 3 or 4 hours as they are so compelling.
