About this ebook
Sheriff Walt Longmire investigates a rancher's death on the site of a dinosaur fossil discovery in this mystery from New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson
The hit drama Longmire is now streaming on Paramount+
When Jen, the largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found surfaces in Sherriff Walt Longmire’s jurisdiction, it appears to be a windfall for the High Plains Dinosaur Museum—until Danny Lone Elk, the Cheyenne rancher on whose property the remains were discovered, turns up dead, floating face down in a turtle pond. With millions of dollars at stake, a number of groups step forward to claim her, including Danny’s family, the tribe, and the federal government. As Wyoming’s Acting Deputy Attorney and a cadre of FBI officers descend on the town, Walt is determined to find out who would benefit from Danny’s death, enlisting old friends Lucian Connolly and Omar Rhoades, along with Dog and best friend Henry Standing Bear, to trawl the vast Lone Elk ranch looking for answers to a sixty-five-million-year-old cold case that’s heating up fast.

I liked it but seriously after the case was done why was he not on a plane to Philly? At least this book did not have ridiculous and boring action/suspense chapters

A well-written novel of almost mythical lore featuring a T-Rex named Jen. Great character development, colorful too! Loved her!! Yes, of course, she belonged to the landowners with consideration for the tribe. Longmire's journey through the caves and mountains describes the courage and true tenacity of his spirit. Love the Lucian, Walt and Henry humor. Now I want to read the rest. Wish this one would be a made-for-tv movie! Remember: SAVE JEN!

Fantastic story and writing. I feel like Walt Longmire is a long time friend and he is sharing his story. The images really pop thanks to Craig Johnson's masterful storytelling. Can't wait for more!
