Craig Johnson’s latest novel is entitled “Depth of Winter.” The head of one of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico has kidnapped Walt Longmire’s beloved daughter, Cady. The American government is of limited help and the Mexican one even less. Armed with his trusty Colt .45, a father’s intuition and the keen instinct that he’s staked his reputation and his life more than once, Walt heads into the 110 degree heat of the Mexican desert – one man against an army. This book is available on CD as well as digitally through Overdrive and 3M Cloud Library. Your library card and PIN give you access!
