Death Without Company is the gripping second installment in Craig Johnson’s beloved Walt Longmire mystery series, set in the rugged and unforgiving landscape of Absaroka County, Wyoming. When an elderly woman named Mari Baroja dies under suspicious circumstances at a local care home, Sheriff Walt Longmire begins pulling on threads that unravel a dark secret buried deep in the county’s Basque immigrant community for nearly four decades. The novel masterfully weaves together a cold case, small-town politics, and the weight of long-buried guilt into a mystery that is as emotionally resonant as it is suspenseful.
