To close murder cases under open skies, he’s your man. Out of bestselling author Craig Johnson’s mystery novels strides Walt Longmire, the charismatic and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County and the world-weary yet dedicated lead character of this spellbinding hit series.

Struggling since his wife’s death a year ago and at the urging of his attorney daughter, Walt knows he must turn his life around. Aided by a new female deputy and his oldest friend, he becomes reenergized about his job and running for reelection, though an ambitious younger deputy is a rival candidate for the job.

And despite the dark secrets and tangled relationships that pervade this Season 1 DVD set, he doggedly solves the big crimes of Wyoming’s big sky country.
