This ‘Longmire’ Episode Changes the Ending of the Original Book

Whenever books are translated for the screen, a few changes are bound to be made between mediums. Craig Johnson's Western mystery novel The Cold Dish inspired the A&E-turned-Netflix series Longmire, with many artistic liberties taken when the character was brought to the screen. But at the end of the show's first season, the plot of the first Johnson-penned novel was revisited directly in the episode "Unfinished Business," which pits Sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) in the middle of a series of revenge killings involving four white boys who raped a Cheyenne girl. But while the book had a distinct and shocking ending, the television adaptation shook things up.
