Publisher Description
THE THRILLING NEW YORK TIMES #2 BESTSELLING NOVEL FROM C.J. BOX.
Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two different kinds of rampaging killers – one animal, one human – in this riveting adventure from award-winning author C.J. Box.
A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage, killing, among others, the prospective fiancé of Joe Pickett's daughter.
At the same time, Dallas Cates, who Joe helped lock up, is released from prison with a list of six names tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.
Targeted are his lawyer, a judge, the county prosecutor, a prison guard, Joe's associate Nate Romanowski – and Joe Pickett himself.
Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates devises a method of violence identical to the bear killings and sets out to methodically check off his list. Can Joe stop him before he himself becomes the next target on the killer's list?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Box's pulse-pounding latest adventure for Wyoming game warden Pickett (after Storm Watch) showcases the series' strengths: high-octane action, intricate plotting, and well-drawn characters. Things kick off dramatically with Clay Hutmacher Jr. trout-fishing in a river and planning how he'll propose to Pickett's daughter, when he's fatally attacked by a grizzly bear. The discovery of Clay's remains prompts Pickett to activate Wyoming's Predator Attack Team to hunt down the bear before it claims more victims. Meanwhile, white supremacist Dallas Cates, who headed the WOODS (Whites Only One Day Soon) gang, is released from prison with plans to assassinate six targets—including Pickett—in revenge for killing members of his family and putting him behind bars. When he learns that Pickett is preoccupied with finding the bear that killed Clay, Cates moves his old nemesis to the top of his hit list. Box maintains expert suspense throughout, shrewdly exploiting the story's animal and human killers to set a series of diabolical traps for his hero. It's another high point in a series full of them.
