Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+
Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett hunts a mass murderer in Yellowstone in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box.
Joe Pickett’s been hired to investigate one of the most cold-blooded mass killings in Wyoming history. Attorney Clay McCann admitted to slaughtering four campers in a back-country corner of Yellowstone National Park—a “free-fire” zone with no residents or jurisdiction. In this remote fifty-square-mile stretch a man can literally get away with murder. Now McCann’s a free man, and Pickett’s about to discover his motive—one buried in Yellowstone’s rugged terrain, and as dangerous as the man who wants to keep it hidden.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When four environmental activists employed by Yellowstone Park are murdered in an isolated area, the Wyoming governor sends outspoken Joe Pickett, fired in his last outing, In Plain Sight (2006), from the state's game and fish department, to investigate in Anthony-winner Box's absorbing seventh crime novel, his best yet. Helped by astute park ranger Judy Demming and his antisocial pal, falconer Nate Romanowski, Joe gradually connects the murders to competition for bio-mining rights in Yellowstone's hot springs. Joe's often harassed family is on the sidelines, except for a startling appearance by his long-estranged father. Box skillfully weaves ominous scientific phenomena and legal loopholes peculiar to Yellowstone into his story of corruption, greed and deception. The author vividly evokes Yellowstone's natural beauty, but the book's real power emanates from Pickett's (and Box's) passion for preserving the wilderness and stopping those who would cynically destroy it.

Another great written story that brings you right in to it.....BOX is a wonderful story teller ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yellowstone Park like you’ve never seen it before!
I love Yellowstone Park and Jackson, and I could picture each scene in this brilliant and exciting novel. Box really keeps you on the edge of your seat as you follow the action. May be his best Joe Pickett yet.
Free Fire C.J. Box
To begin, a truly outstanding read!!!! Joe Pickett recently fired from his job as a Wyoming game warden has been working on his father in laws ranch when he is contacted by the governors office and offered a job and a relocation to Yellowstone national park to investigate the murders of park employees by an attorney who was not prosecuted due to a jurisdictional clause in the parks bylaws. What unfolds are layers of deceit , betrayal by park rangers, the governors chief aide and all for the oldest motivator in history….money. This fantastic read has my highest recommendation!! Enjoyed immensely!!
