Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett’s daughter April left home to be with her boyfriend Dallas Cates, a champion bull rider. Then more bad news, April has been found lying in a ditch by the side of the road badly beaten and with severe head trauma. Then his good friend Nate Romanski has been shot and is not expected to survive. At the center of this is the dysfunctional Cate’s family and their psychotic mother Brenda. Non stop action on every page!! Another amazing read in this series!! My highest recommendation!!

Excellent! A real page turning thriller. I loved it!

Plenty of action and intrigue!

Another great picket book

Great action, story, and scenery as always. I wish that Joe was a little more realistic. For example, who reacts the way he does, almost without thinking? I think that CJ Box could round out his character more.

Could not put it down. Awesome story line.

Next to the alien book this has been my least favorite book of the series.. way too dark for my liking… but the series overall is incredible and I’m already stressing about being finished with the series!!

Great book and easy read. Loved it

Continued excellence: however, how did Nate find Lia in the end? I know it’s only fiction, but it’s a stretch! Keep it real!

Love the entertaining, fast paced clean read.
