Part of Walt Longmire, book 11.5
First published 2016
Highway patrolman Rosey Wayman gets transferred to Wind River Canyon, a remote stretch of Wyoming where radio signals die and troopers call it no-man's land. She starts picking up distress calls on her radio. The voice identifies himself as Bobby Womack, an Arapaho patrolman who burned to death in the same canyon fifty years ago. Sheriff Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear step in to investigate. They face something that defies normal police work. The case forces them to confront both the living and the dead. Longmire must solve a mystery that bridges two worlds and pits him against a figure known as The Highwayman. The investigation tests the bonds between the sheriff and his longtime friend Henry as they navigate supernatural forces in the unforgiving landscape of the canyon.
