DESCRIPTION:
"This book was so good I immediately ordered another title in the series." according to J. Lesley. Joe Pickett has only one more week to go in the territory around Baggs, Wyoming, before he will be heading back to take up his position of a game warden in Twelve Sleep Country. Back to his family. But in all good conscience Joe can't ignore the reports he's been hearing about campsites being vandalized and an illegally poached elk being stolen from the hunters who tracked the wounded animal and found the carcass neatly butchered. Pickett figures it will take him a week to make his way around the Sierra Madre of Southern Wyoming and then he's homeward bound. What he finds when he gets deep . It does not always seem fair Joe Pickett, the Game Warden did one final task on the job he had for the last year. There were outlaw twins in the mountains scaring people. When he went to investigate, he is hurt ending up in the hospital. It is a case where the government seized their property in another state to give to a corporation that would bring in a lot of taxes. Three of their family werekilled and they found this place hoping to be left alone. So I'm not sharing more, since that may ruin it for you. The writing is good. The characters have depth and he describes situations and sights so well. I know I'm hooked.. M. Tanenbaum said WOW! I couldn't put this down. As a suburban liberal blue state female, I'm not sure if I fit the typical profile of C. J. Box's readers, but I find his Joe Pickett series to be one of the best series of mystery/thrillers out there. I literally couldn't put this one down once I started in on it. I have read a number of titles in the series, completely out of order, so you can easily read this one even if you haven't read the earlier Pickett novels. I thought this one was one of the best so far. In a nutshell, Joe Pickett is a Wyoming game warden, working a temporary assignment in an isolated town where strange things are
A Joe Pickett 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.

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.
