Depth of Winter


 
Depth of Winter by Craig Johnson  292 pp.

This is the 14th book in the Walt Longmire series. In this episode Walt's daughter Cady has been kidnapped by a drug cartel in Mexico in retribution by cartel leader, Tomas Bedarte. The American authorities are negotiating with the Mexican government for permission to enter the country and find the kidnappers. Walt refuses to wait and proceeds on his own with a few locals to enter the northern desert of Mexico in search of the criminals. Just when Longmire thinks he has succeeded in rescuing Cady and her housekeeper, things go horribly wrong and he finds himself alone in the desert, once again trying to reach his daughter. I have skipped a few books in the series and this one had some surprising revelations I missed by skipping those books. Walt's deputy Vic and Henry Standing Bear were absent from the story and I missed them a lot.
