Dry Bones

Description

When the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered is unearthed on a Cheyenne ranch, the find promises an extraordinary fortune for the High Plains Dinosaur Museum—and ignites a bitter dispute among the rancher’s family, the tribe, and the federal government. Before ownership can be settled, rancher Danny Lone Elk is found dead in a pond, turning a contentious custody battle into a murder investigation. Sheriff Walt Longmire, aided by his longtime friend Henry Standing Bear, must navigate competing claims, cultural tensions, and buried secrets to uncover what happened. Set against Wyoming’s stark landscapes, this atmospheric mystery blends sharp humor, complex loyalties, and a compelling exploration of justice, heritage, and the true cost of sudden wealth.
