Walt Longmire, Craig Johnson’s beloved Sheriff of Absaroka County, returns on May 26, 2026, in The Brothers McKay—and once again, Wyoming’s most iconic lawman is stepping into trouble.
For more than two decades, New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson has delivered modern Western crime fiction at its absolute best, blending sharp humor, deep moral weight, and a profound sense of setting. With The Brothers McKay, set after the events of Return to Sender (2025), readers can expect another riveting case that puts Sheriff Walt Longmire face-to-face with the kind of danger that lives in the shadows of tight-knit communities—where family loyalties run deep, old grudges refuse to die, and justice is never quite as simple as it seems.
Whether you discovered Longmire through the novels or the hit TV series, this is one return you won’t want to miss!
