Synopsis

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett investigates a mysterious death at a secret, remote high-tech facility in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Timesbestselling author C. J. Box.

While tracking a wounded elk in the midst of an epic Rocky Mountain spring snowstorm, Joe Pickett makes a startling and gruesome discovery: the frozen and mutilated body of a man who has obviously trespassed on a private ranch and was killed near the location of a mysterious high-tech structure. Joe
also finds the man’s vehicle on an isolated mountainside—the victim’s ID indicates that he is a prominent University of Wyoming professor. When Joe attempts to learn more, his investigation is obstructed by federal agents, extremists, and Governor Colter Allen.

Nate Romanowski is rebuilding his falconry company—and financing this through crypto mining with the assistance of Geronimo Jones. Nate is then approached by a shadowy group of local militant activists that is gaining in power and influence, and demanding that Wyoming join other western states and secede
from the union—by force, if necessary. They ask Nate to throw in with them, but he’s wary.

Should he trust them, or is he being set up?

As a storm of peril gathers around them, Joe and Nate confront it in different ways—and maybe, for the first time, on opposite sides.

Goodreads review by Paul on November 01, 2023

To date I've read, in order, every Joe Pickett novel. The series is set in a mountainous, sparsely-populated corner of Wyoming and features a fish & game warden who finds himself and his family threatened by bad men intent on raping the West. Overall they're great reads, engrossing and hard to put d......more

thé FBI is the villain? Mr. Box should remember that most of his readers voted for Biden, and that they find his plot just too far fetched. His description of nature is terrific, and Joe is levelheaded, but leave out all of the politics…......more

Goodreads review by Julie on March 22, 2023

Series writing seems to have a shelf life and the end of the shelf usually coincides with TV and movie deals. There are a few exceptions. Box isn't one of them. I tried really hard to ignore the ridiculousness of the last Joe Pickett book and the author's choice of "experts" on antifa. I keep telling......more
