Synopsis

One of the most viewed paintings in American history, Custer’s Last Fight, copied
and distributed by Anheuser-Busch at a rate of more than a million copies a year,
was destroyed in a fire at the Seventh Cavalry headquarters in Fort Bliss, Texas, in
1946. Or was it? When Charley Lee Stillwater dies of an apparent heart attack at the
Veterans’ Home of Wyoming, Walt Longmire is called in to try to make sense of a
partial painting and a Florsheim shoebox containing one million dollars, both found
in Stillwater’s foot locker, sending the good sheriff on the trail of a dangerous art heist.

Walt is fond of the veterans who sit outside the home and wave at passing cars,
and he felt a particular kinship with Charley Lee, making him all the more eager to
untangle the mystery of the deceased man’s belongings. As he follows the money—
encountering some nefarious characters along the way—Longmire strives to make
sure that this investigation doesn’t become his own next to last stand.

Craig Johnson is the New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire mysteries,
the basis for the hit Netflix original series Longmire. He is the recipient of the Western
Writers of America Spur Award for fiction, and his novella Spirit of Steamboat was
the first One Book Wyoming selection. He lives in Ucross, Wyoming, population
twenty-five.

George Guidall’s 40-year career in the theatre includes leading roles on Broadway,
Off-Broadway, and in regional theatres across the country. The recipient of an Obie
Award, he has appeared in over 75 productions ranging from Shakespeare to Neil
Simon. One of the audiobook industry’s most acclaimed readers, Guidall received
Audie Awards for his performances of A Widow for One Year and I Know This Much
Is True.

"“I thought maybe I’d hit the Little Bighorn Battlefield along the way or on the way back.” She stood as I gathered the books, relieved that this research portion of the investigation was over. “It’s on the way?” Starting out, I paused at the front desk to hand the stack over to the nice young woman......more

Oh Walt Longmire, you great, big, lovable, lug of a sheriff. If only I wasn’t married..... Walt is hot on the trail of discovering the provenance of the famous painting, Custer’s Last Fight and questioning why there is a million dollars in a shoe box.

Goodreads review by John (I want my notifications back) on February 08, 2024

Craig Johnson strikes again with another great read. The plot was basically about stolen art, who done it and what length are they willing to go to satisfy their greed. This prose is full of light banter, especially with Vic and Walt teamed together. As a bonus, the history of Custer at Little Big H......more
