"It\'s the scenery-and the big guy standing in front of the scenery-that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson\'s lean and leathery mysteries."
-The New York Times Book Review
A sheriff\'s mysterious death spurs the tenth Longmire novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves
In Any Other Name, Walt is sinking into high-plains winter discontent when his former boss, Lucian Conally, asks him to take on a mercy case in an adjacent county. Detective Gerald Holman is dead and Lucian wants to know what drove his old friend to take his own life. With the clock ticking on the birth of his first grandchild, Walt learns that the by-the-book detective might have suppressed evidence concerning three missing women. Digging deeper, Walt uncovers an incriminating secret so dark that it threatens to claim other lives even before the sheriff can serve justice-Wyoming style.
