The first novel in the thrilling series featuring Wyoming game warden
Joe Pickett from #1 New York Times bestselling author C. J. Box.
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town
where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden--especially one like Joe
who won't take bribes or look the other way--is far from popular. When
he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile
behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. Even after the
discovery of two more bodies, and the resolution of the case by local
police, Joe continues to investigate.
As Joe digs deeper into the murders, he soon discovers that the
outfitter brought more than death to his backdoor: he brought Joe an
endangered species, thought to be extinct, which is now living in his
woodpile. But if word of this rare species gets out, it will destroy any
chance of InterWest, a multi-national natural gas company, building an
oil pipeline through the mountains and forests of Twelve Sleep. The
closer Joe comes to the truth behind the outfitter murders, the
endangered species, and InterWest, the closer he comes to losing
everything he holds dear.
