Publisher Description
Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+
A mountain patrol leads Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett into a dangerous situation in this gripping novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author C. J. Box.
It's Joe Pickett's last week as a temporary game warden in the mountain town of Baggs, Wyoming, but his conscience won't let him leave without checking out the strange reports coming from the wilderness: camps looted, tents slashed, elk butchered. What awaits him is like something out of an old campfire tale, except this story is all too real—and all too deadly.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Inspired by a real-life Wyoming game warden's encounter with sinister mountain-man twin brothers, Edgar-winner Box's outstanding 10th Joe Pickett novel (after Below Zero) takes Pickett into darker territory than ever before. Pickett's eerie last patrol as a temporary game warden in a remote mountainous area turns into a savage brush with death, followed by a crisis of conscience that drives the decent Pickett back into the same mountains to rescue Diane Shober, an Olympic runner who vanished there and to bring Caleb and Camish Grim, twin brothers suspected of poaching (and maybe worse) to justice. Box inexorably builds Joe's harrowing personal quest into a complex meditation on human greed and government corruption. A lone black wolf, possibly Box's symbol for the wilderness within and without the human soul, tracks Joe throughout this terrible, beautiful tale of courage and compassion and culpability. Author tour.

Loved this one!
No Where to Run C.J. BOX
Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett goes by the rule of law. That’s his job and that’s the way he is. To say he is an honest man is an understatement. Sometimes if he could caught a litter slack things would go a lot more smoothly. Two poachers from Michigan living in a remote area he issues citations too. He doesn’t know they are wanted men, fugitives, treated unfairly by the government of Michigan. What unfolds is a classic tale of Joe and his partner Nate handling a very tuff situation to the best of their ability. An excellent read!! Enjoyed immensely!
CJ Box At the Best
A barn burner of a book. Very hard to put this one down.
Great plot. Great bad guys. One great hero.
