Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is on an assignment assisting another game warden involving the victim of a grizzly bear attack. Prior to arriving at the scene of the attack he is notified that he needs to return home immediately. A helicopter arrives at his location to transport him home. The wife of a prominent judge has been shot at home by a bullit entering through a window barely missing the judge and striking her as she was standing behind him. The search for the shooter unveils the incompetence of the new Sheriff as he arrests Joe’s good friend Nate Romanowski as the shooter. What next unfolds after Joe and his wife Marybeth start on investigation of their own unveils the shooter is the local doctor and his spotter the towns lead prosecutor. Twist and turns on every page. Non stop action and suspense!!! An excellent read!!! My highest recommendation!!

I really enjoyed this book and will read more C.J. Box books thanks k

With every new Pickett book, Box thrills us. This one was just another fantastic read. With all of my favorite authors, as I get close to catching up ( I’m a little twisted in that I need to read every book in a series, in order) I find myself getting a little bummed at the thought of having to wait a year to read another on and only get to read one a year. I’m getting close now. But I’m not quite there. This one wove some old into some new. Going to be great to see what’s next. Irrationally, I think I want Joe to be the next Sheriff of Twelve Sleep County. LOL.

Another great read from C.J. Box

Reminds me of my family.

Another great story from C J Box.

Interesting and fast moving story that keep the reader’s attention. Excellent technical detail and local details are great. The book requires a willing suspension of disbelief to make it work as a murder mystery.

Fast moving. No wasted pages. Villains you can loathe. Retribution you can revel in. And the plodding discipline of Joe Pickett evidencing character matters

Love the book just in concerned about the fact that the mad archer Ron Conelly was supposedly killed off by Nate Romanowski in force of nature and beginning of the book now he’s back to life in prison in Long Range

An exciting book, well thought out and presented.
