Hell Is Empty by Craig Johnson - 320 p.

   Wyoming Sherriff Walt Longmire is pretty tired after more 30 years of maintaining justice in Absaroka County. In this 7th book in the Walt Longmire series, Walt comes closer than ever to death's door.
   Psychopath and extremely dangerous criminal Raynaud Shade has confessed to killing a young boy 10 years before. While transporting Shade and a company of other criminals to the Feds, all hell breaks loose in the snowy high-country of Wyoming.
   With the words from Dante's Inferno running through his mind, Walt does all he can to try to bring in his criminal. He must bring justice - both civil and spiritual - to this case. Has he gone too far this time? Will his mind break before his body in those high mountains? Find out in this impossible-to-put-down book.
