This is the third installment in the long-running "Longmire" series by Craig Johnson. I like the first book, The Cold Dish, but couldn't find the 2nd book, so settled for the 3rd. Separate missions take Longmire, Bear and Dog to the City of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia)--Longmire to see daughter Cady and Bear to appear in a photography show at an art gallery. On their first night in town, Longmire meets deputy sheriff Vic Moretti's mother Lena. Cady is late coming home and eventually the police show up saying Cady has had an accident--a fall-- and is in the hospital unconscious. She remains in a coma for most of the book and Longmire and then Bear as well are determined to find out what really happened to her. Kirkus praises with this conclusion to their review: "Johnson deftly integrates country and city sensibilities; makes Walt’s love and fear for Cady palpable; and casts a droll eye on Walt and romance. Even better than Death Without Company (2006): a must-read for both the tough and the tender-hearted." Publishers Weekly recommends as well: "The quick pace and tangled web of interconnected crimes will keep readers turning pages."
