Longmire series. Now, we will
have fun reading and discussing
the book.
The O-Kay Lodge sits at
the mouth of a canyon with a
historic ranch house alongside
Crazy Woman Creek, a prime
fishing stream. It is a splendid
location, attracting wealthy
vacationers with a yen to
play cowboy.
Pepper McKay is a good-looking guy with a knack for causing trouble, especially when it
involves women, money and a
strong drink.
When he married BeeBee
Harris, the ranch came along
with her.
They have two sons, Ian, a
journalist, and Alan, a monk,
and Pepper’s son, David, from

Walt Longmire and Under
sheriff Victoria Moretti drive to
the O-Kay Lodge the morning
Pepper’s body is discovered.
