The body of a young man is found in Absaroka County, Wyoming. It is possible that Cody  Pritchard is the victim of a hunting accident, or is he? After all, he was one of the four boys  who lured Melissa Real Bird, a Cheyenne girl with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, into a basement  and raped her. Cody and his friends received what amounted to suspended sentences. Is  someone seeking revenge? Will the specter of race relations and lingering retribution claim  more lives? Or will the only thing that stands between them and a Sharps .45-70 buffalo rifle  be Sheriff Walt Longmire?
 
On the autumnal side of twenty-four years as sheriff of Absaroka County, which is located at  the base of the Big Horn Mountains and next to the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, Walt is  looking for a quiet period to finish out his tenure but instead finds himself embroiled in the  most volatile and challenging case of his career. With lifelong friend Henry Standing Bear,  Deputy Victoria Morretti, and a cast of characters tragic and humorous enough to fill in the  vast emptiness of the high plains, Walt Longmire attempts to see that revenge, a dish best  served cold, is never served at all.
