Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett encounters bad behavior on his own
turf--only to have the FBI and the DOJ ask him to stand down--in the
thrilling new novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author C.J.
Box.
The good news is that Joe Pickett has his job back, after his last
adventure in The Disappeared. The bad news is that he's come to learn
that a drone is killing wildlife--and the drone belongs to a mysterious
and wealthy man whose son is dating Joe's own daughter, Lucy.
When Joe tries to lay down the rules for the drone operator, he's asked
by the FBI and the DOJ to stand down, which only makes him more
suspicious. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up in and around Joe's district
in shocking numbers. He begins to fear that a pack of four vicious
killers working on behalf of the Sinaloa cartel known as the Wolf Pack
has arrived. Their target seems to be the mystery man and
everyone--including Joe, Nate, and others--who is associated with him.
Teaming up with a female game warden (based on a real person, one of the
few female game wardens at work in Wyoming today) to confront these
assassins, Joe finds himself in the most violent and dangerous
predicament he's ever faced.
