#54 The Cold Dish By Craig Johnson **

From Amazon: Walt Longmire, the veteran sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyo., usually has little to do on his patrols. When Cody Pritchard is found shot to death near the Cheyenne reservation, everyone, including Deputy Victoria Moretti, a transplanted Philadelphian, believes he died in an accident. But two years earlier, Cody was one of four high schoolers convicted of raping a young Native American girl. All were given suspended sentences, and when another of the four turns up dead, it appears that someone is out for revenge. As fear mounts, Sheriff Longmire feels tension in the air between the white population and the Native American community, and he's not pleased to think that his lifelong friend, Henry Standing Bear, might be directly involved in the murders.

01/19/07 I hate to say this but this was just okay for me. I really wanted to like this Wyoming author being from there and all. Maybe that was part of the problem I didn't need so many words to tell me what Wyoming is like. The parts that caught my interest were just two few and far between. However, I was surprised; never guessed who the killer was.
