Twelve Longmire short stories available for
the first time in a single volume—featuring an introduction by Lou
Diamond Phillips of A&E’s Longmire
Ten years ago, Craig Johnson
wrote his first short story, the Hillerman Award–winning “Old Indian
Trick.” This was one of the earliest appearances of the sheriff who
would go on to star in Johnson’s bestselling, award-winning novels and
the A&E hit series Longmire. Each Christmas Eve thereafter,
fans rejoiced when Johnson sent out a new short story featuring an
episode in Walt’s life that doesn’t appear in the novels; over the
years, many have asked why they can’t buy the stories in book form.
Wait for Signs collects
those beloved stories—and one entirely new story, “Petunia, Bandit Queen
of the Bighorns”—for the very first time in a single volume, regular
trade hardcover. With glimpses of Walt’s past from the incident in
“Ministerial Aide,” when the sheriff is mistaken for a deity, to the
hilarious “Messenger,” where the majority of the action takes place in a
Port-A-Potty, Wait for Signs
is a necessary addition to any Longmire fan’s shelf and a wonderful way
to introduce new readers to the fictional world of Absaroka County,
Wyoming.
