Synopsis

The plane circled in the dark. Joe Pickett could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber, and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. And Joe knew that he might be their next target. The Cates family had always been a bad lot. Game warden Joe Pickett had been able to strike a fierce blow against them when the life of his daughter April had been endangered, but he'd always wondered if there'd be a day of reckoning. He's not wondering any longer. Joe knows they're coming after him and his family now. He has his friend Nate by his side, but will that be enough this time? All he can do is prepare . . . and wait for them to make the first move.

Goodreads review by Kevin on June 08, 2020

This is my second read by C.J. Box. He writes action/crime fiction set in the modern day west. I spent nearly three years living in Cheyenne, Wyoming and traveled the state extensively.

I read and really enjoy a wide range of mystery series, and C. J. Box’s Joe Pickett series is at the very top of my list. Each installment is outstanding and unique, and Vicious Circle (the 17th in the series) is no exception. I am not usually a fan of retribution stories so I was a little concerned......more

C.J. Box has hit his stride and is knocking these books out of the park! The last few of his books have been great, but this one is the best of his I have read in a long time. So, when the book is better than books you already felt were pretty great – that is a very good thing! Lots of action, corrupt......more

Goodreads review by Monnie on March 30, 2017

4.5 stars, actually - but good enough to err on the upside when half-stars aren't possible. This is something like the 17th book about Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett, and since I've read most of them, by now I consider Joe a good friend. There's another reason I love the guy: As those who have read......more
