Hell and Back by Craig Johnson
At this point, I really should break these off into their own series. At the end of the last book, which I vaguely remember, Walt was in a horrific accident. He wakes up in town but he can't remember who he is or what he is doing in this town where it seems to be stuck at 8:17. Walt sets off to investigate and find out who he is and what he is doing.
It's a ghost story, sort of. Occasionally, Johnson does add mystical elements into his novels and this book gives into that desire in a big way. The main arc of the story is the former Indian school that was in the town and the treatment of the Indians in that school. We also have Standing Bear and Vic out looking for Walt who has disappeared.
It's pretty good comfort food at this point.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
