Walt investigates the death elderly Cheyenne Danny Lone Elk and runs
into problems on site of a dinosaur fossil discovery--from the New York
Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves
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.
