Longmire Season 3 Available to Pre-Order on DVD

Scheduled for DVD release on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015 and available to pre-order …

Longmire

Season Three

   

Absaroka County (Wyoming) Sheriff Walt Longmire is back for the third season of the formerly A&E, now Netflix drama Longmire. In this gripping two-disc, 10-episode set, characters must test their courage and face challenges that will ultimately define them.

Last season, Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) and his deputies each braved a storm and did it nobly. But for every storm, there is an aftermath. After winning his heated re-election as Absaroka County sheriff against his ambitious deputy Branch Connally (Bailey Chase), Longmire faces a stampede of problems both personal and professional. Branch is mysteriously shot on "the Rez" by the White Warrior spirit of a dead man, while Longmire's loyal friend Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips), is arrested in connection to the murder of Longmire's wife's killer. Longmire's daughter, Cady (Cassidy Freeman), decides to take up Henry's case and fight in court to clear Henry's name. Meanwhile, his deputy Vic Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) sees the return of a stalker from her Philadelphia past. Longmire must navigate these taxing situations as he butts heads with tribal police, big money connections and longstanding enemies.

This series is based on the "Walt Longmire" mystery novels written by Craig Johnson.

The third season DVD is scheduled for release on March 3rd, 2015. It is already available to download on Amazon Instant and iTunes.

When A&E abruptly canceled the series after this third season, the outcome of the cliffhanger ending was in doubt. Fortunately, Netflix announced last Fall that it would produce and stream a fourth season. No date was provided, but it is expected to be available sometime this year.

Wrongful Death by Lynda La Plante, An Anna Travis Mystery (9th in series)

Publisher: Bourbon Street Books

  

Six months ago, London nightclub owner Josh Reynolds was found dead. Ruled a suicide, the police investigation was closed. Then a young man, awaiting trial for armed robbery, tells his guards that Reynolds was murdered, and that he has information to share.

DCI Anna Travis is scheduled to leave for training at Quantico, as part of an exchange between the Met and the FBI. But before she can leave, she's got to review the case thanks to her boss, DCS James Langton. Joining her team is senior FBI agent and crime scene expert Jessie Dewar.

The American's brash manner quickly ruffles feathers throughout the Met, and what should have been a simple matter of tying up loose ends becomes a political powder keg when the competence of the original investigation team is challenged. Suddenly, Anna is faced with a dangerous choice. Will she close ranks to protect her people, or push to find the truth no matter what the consequences?

The young, head-strong criminal profiler is drafted for the mission after a fellow ranger falls prey to the killer's blade, revealing just before her death that the offender has connections within the Texas Rangers.

Unable to trust anyone in her own company, Ashley joins forces with Federal Agent Jack Looper, the sleuth's superior instincts overshadowed only by his immense ego. The reluctant partners span the Lone Star State on the heels of the killer, even as both agents fight demons of their very own. As they close in on the killer, it becomes unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey as the calculating culprit draws them in to his maniacal game plan of death.

A Louise Golden Mystery

Publisher: Hoaka Moon Publishing

  

This title was listed for free as of January 16, 2015 at 7:00 AM ET.

Dog nappings have doubled on O'ahu over the past year. Brazen thefts of beloved pets from their homes have the community on edge. A beautiful, mysterious Chinese actress is distraught when her Pomeranian is stolen. Mail carrier Louise Golden finds the missing pooch, only to learn the actress is suddenly gone, with her belongings. Dogs are disappearing. Street people are being abducted by aliens — or so claims Louise's homeless friend, Frankie. Clues point in different directions. Nothing adds up.

A masked man appears out of nowhere and warns Louise to mind her own business. What did he mean? Everyone is a suspect: her boyfriend who tells stories for a living, the ex lover who once betrayed her, the acting coach skilled in the art of deception, the shameless stalker in the yellow Tweety Bird van. At the polo field, tempers flare. Someone's bound to get hurt.

Things heat up for Louise, as well, when a sexy Brazilian polo player befriends her. Is he truly a friend, or a rake intent on seducing vulnerable women? Can Louise even trust her own spiritual awakening to help her find a path to understanding — or is she faking it and running blindly to a dead end? What will she do when she comes face to face with her greatest fears?

Settled on his own farmland and living like a true family man after years of irresponsible fun, Jimmy's got a straight life cut out for him. But he's knocking years off that life thanks to fun-yet-dangerous Bobby's booze-addled antics — especially now that Bobby is single, volatile, profane as ever, and bored as hell.

When Bobby's teenage daughter goes missing, he and Jimmy take off on a misadventure that starts out as merely unfortunate and escalates to downright calamitous. Bobby won't hesitate to kick a hornets' nest to get the girl to safety, but when the rescue mission goes riotously sideways, the duo's grit — and loyalty to each other — is put to the test.

Dying is not for the faint of heart … Neither is the murder of a mysterious philanthropist with ties to the Russian mob and 1939 gangsters …

At an A-list charity ball organized by his wife, Angela, former detective Oliver "Tuck" Tucker is doing his best to prove that ghosts know how to have a good time — until a man is murdered in cold blood on the dance floor.

Never one to let a mystery go unsolved, Tuck is on the case with help from Angela and his former police-detective partners. Together, they must be the first to read "the book" — deceased gangster Vincent Calabrese's journal that names names and reveals the dirty secrets of several modern-day spies.

As Tuck learns the book's secrets, he begins to unravel his own family's wayward past, leading to the question — is being a ghost hereditary? Even while chasing a killer, the biggest challenge Tuck must conquer is how to be back amongst the living … but not one of them.

Read our review of Sacred Games by Gary Corby on Mysterious Reviews.

It is the Olympics of 460 BC. Nico's best friend, Timodemus, is a competitor in the pankration, the deadly martial art of ancient Greece. Timo is hot favorite to win. His only serious rival is Parmonos from Sparta. When Parmonos is found beaten to death, it is obvious Timodemus must be the killer. Who else could have killed the second-best fighter in all Hellas but the very best? The Judges of the Games sentence Timodemus to be executed in four days' time, as soon as the Sacred Games have finished.

Complicating everything is the fact that Athens and Sparta are already at each other's throats, in the opening stages of a power struggle for control of Hellas. If an Athenian is found to have cheated at the Games by murdering a Spartan, it will be everything the hawks in Sparta need to declare open war the moment the Sacred Truce is over. And that's a war Athens cannot hope to win.

Nico and his partner in sleuthing, the annoyingly clever priestess Diotima, have four days to save their friend and avert a war that would tear their world apart.

A Fine Summer's Day by Charles Todd, an Ian Rutledge Mystery (17th in series)

Publisher: William Morrow

    

On a fine summer's day in June, 1914, Ian Rutledge pays little notice to the assassination of an archduke in Sarajevo. An Inspector at Scotland Yard, he is planning to propose to the woman whom he deeply loves, despite intimations from friends and family that she may not be the wisest choice.

To the north on this warm and gentle day, another man in love — a Scottish Highlander — shows his own dear girl the house he will build for her in September. While back in England, a son awaits the undertaker in the wake of his widowed mother's death. This death will set off a series of murders across England, seemingly unconnected, that Rutledge will race to solve in the weeks before the fateful declaration in August that will forever transform his world.

As the clouds of war gather on the horizon, all of Britain wonders and waits. With every moment at stake, Rutledge sets out to right a wrong — an odyssey that will eventually force him to choose between the Yard and his country, between love and duty, and between honor and truth.
