Wait for Signs: Twelve Longmire Stories

by Craig Johnson

Book Overview

A New York Times -bestselling collection of Longmire adventures Craig Johnson's The Highwayman and An Obvious Fact are now available from Viking. 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 hit television series Longmire, now streaming on Netflix. 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 gives Longmire fans a chance to own these beloved stories--and one that was published for the first time in the Viking edition--in a single volume. 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 Porta-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.

Customer Reviews

A bit of déjà vu.

This book is a collection of short stories, about half of which have appeared in other Craig Johnson/ Longmire publications, so you may have read some before. That said, the first story is worth the price of the book. Now, about customer service... Remember when people did their job and it was not a cause for astonishment and celebration? It was just a company doing their job. The book I ordered arrived quickly. The price they quoted was reasonable and it was the price I was charged. The book was advertised as "like new" and the book that arrived looked like new. What's the big deal? They did their job, or as Karen would sing, "Its yesterday once more."
