Synopsis

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett has two cases to contend with, both of them lethal, in the electrifying new novel from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author. Wyoming's new governor isn't sure what to make of Joe Pickett, but he has a job for him that is extremely delicate. A prominent female British executive never came home from the high-end guest ranch she was visiting, and the British Embassy is pressing hard. Pickett knows that happens sometimes-these ranches are stocked with handsome young cowboys, and "ranch romances" aren't uncommon. But no sign of her months after she vanished? That suggests something else. At the same time, his friend Nate Romanowski has asked Joe to intervene with the feds on behalf of falconers who can no longer hunt with eagles even though their permits are in order. Who is blocking the falconers and why? The more he investigates both cases, the more someone wants him to go away. Is it because of the missing woman or because he's become Nate's advocate? Or are they somehow connected? The answers, when they come, will be even worse than he'd imagined.

Joe Pickett is back, but he is away from home again. Off to southern Wyoming, near where some of Box’s previous Pickett novels have been set, to track down a mysterious disappearance in a town where things are not quite what they seem. As I am from Wyoming originally, I always like to get back and se......more

C.J. Box's latest Joe Pickett novel is a great addition to this outstanding series. Wyoming has a new, highly unpleasant governor who tasks Pickett with finding a missing British businesswomen. Meanwhile, Nate Romanowski drags Joe into another case on behalf of a group of falconers. The further Joe......more

Goodreads review by Monnie on April 02, 2018

I do not like them, Sam I am: Cliffhangers, I mean. Not even when they happen in a favorite series and, Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, I have every intention of reading the next one. But that aside, I quite enjoyed this one (as I expected I would). As I've mentioned in other reviews, my inter......more

Goodreads review by Lynn on April 15, 2024

Users and Losers I have truly enjoyed every Joe Pickett book I have read, but this book gave me the feeling that it was less a story and more of filling you in on the Pickett family and Nate Romanowski. That Picketts lost their state house to arson in the last book and they’re still living in less th......more
