"Sheriff Walt Longmire and Dog are called on a routine search and rescue to Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, where Walt finds himself on a rock outcropping remembering when his father told him about the first time he saw a man die. In the late forties, Bill Sutherland was shot but the investigation was stymied because no member of the elk camp—where he was found—was carrying the caliber rifle that killed the state accountant.

They took the second half of the story, deleted characters, changed the hero's name, and pasted it with the first half of another Grey manuscript to produce...

The set-up of a young bank clerk framed for robbery and murder proves a worthy puzzle for Silvertip to run down, and, in saving the innocent and tracking down the real...
