Part of Walt Longmire, book 17
First published 2021
Jaya "Longshot" Long dominates the basketball court for the Lame Deer Lady Stars, but someone wants her dead. The high school phenom has been receiving death threats, prompting her aunt, Tribal Police Chief Lolo Long, to call Sheriff Walt Longmire for help. Henry Standing Bear joins as backup. Jaya follows the path her older sister once took, but that sister vanished a year ago, another casualty among missing Native women. Lolo believes Longmire's involvement might bring public attention to these disappearances. Her strategy works, but it also puts the Absaroka County sheriff on a collision course with the most dangerous enemy he has ever encountered. This adversary operates in both the physical world and the spiritual realm, testing Longmire beyond anything he has faced before.
