Publisher's summary

A new novel in the beloved New York Times best-selling Longmire series.

When Lolo Long's niece, Jaya, begins receiving death threats, Tribal Police Chief Long calls on Absaroka County Sheriff Walt Longmire along with Henry Standing Bear as lethal backup. Jaya Longshot Long is the phenom of the Lame Deer Lady Stars High School basketball team and is following in the steps of her older sister, who disappeared a year previously, a victim of the scourge of missing Native Woman in Indian Country. Lolo hopes that having Longmire involved might draw some public attention to the girl's plight, but with this maneuver, she also inadvertently places the good sheriff in a one-on-one with the deadliest adversary he has ever faced in both this world and the next.

Walt & Henry do it again

Shines a much needed spotlight on the plight of first nations women. The end was a bit murky, they were still looking for the poor girls remains. Meanwhile Walt is heading off to what? Find his destiny?

George Guidall got me through this book

I felt like it wasn't Craig Johnson's best work. Thankfully Guidall narrated again. Thanks George

Best Damn Author !!!

Craig Johnson is a GREAT writer. He has never gotten lazy as his series progressed. He has simply improved with every story.
George Guidall kills it as narrator.
He has become my favorite author.

One of his best

Very good mix of paranormal and Indian lore. Basketball background gave it grounding. One of his best.

One of the best so far in the Walt Longmire series

I hesitated before writing this, but here it is: I enjoyed Daughter of the Morning Star more than more recent titles because there's very little Vic in it and Cady is barely mentioned.
Johnson has written what he writes about best: the friendship of Walt and Henry Standing Bear. The focal point of the novel--the perilous existences of native women living on the reservation--is spun around two teenaged sisters, with just the lightest touch of mysticism. It's clear that the story will be continued (good). And George Guidall's narration is, as always, wonderful.
