Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett and his wife, Marybeth, make separate discoveries that put the Pickett family in a pair of killers’ crosshairs in this thrilling new novel in the bestselling series.
Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+
A day before the three Pickett girls come home for Thanksgiving, Joe is called out for a moose-poaching incident that turns out to be something much more sinister: a local fishing guide has been brutally tortured and murdered. At the same time, Marybeth opens an unmarked package at the library where she works and finds a photo album that belonged to an infamous Nazi official. Who left it there? And why?
She learns that during World War II, several Wyoming soldiers were in the group that fought to Hitler’s Eagles Nest retreat in the Alps—and one of them took the Fuhrer’s personal photo album. Did another take this one and keep it all these years? When a close neighbor is murdered, Joe and Marybeth face new questions: Who is after the book? And how will they solve its mystery before someone hurts them…or their girls?
Meanwhile, Nate Romanowski is on the hunt for the man who stole his falcons and attacked his wife. Using a network of fellow falconers, Nate tracks the man from one city to another. Even as he grasps the true threat his quarry presents, Nate swoops in for the kill—and a stunning final showdown.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Box's subpar 22nd Joe Pickett novel (after 2021's Dark Sky) opens with the Wyoming game warden called to a rancher's land to check out a dead moose. The purported moose turns out to be the burned body of a local fishing guide, who was apparently tortured before he died. Meanwhile, Joe's wife, the director of the county library, finds a rare Nazi artifact left on the library's doorstep: a photo album that once belonged to a high-ranking Nazi officer. That memento is also of interest to a pair of violent Hungarian brothers who've been dispatched to Wyoming to grab the album utilizing any means necessary. An unconvincing subplot involving the efforts of Joe's best friend, Nate Romanowski, to reclaim his precious falcons abducted by a villain intent on selling them on the black market for nefarious purposes sputters out, but Box resolves the murder case and the hunt for the Nazi photo album with his usual panache. Series fans will hope to see more of a promising new character, rough-hewn falconer Geronimo Jones, but this isn't the place to start for newcomers.

An excellent read, and an accurate portrayal of Antifa, the Portland debacle and the losers and criminals that have virtually destroyed Portland and other cities that have bowed to the Soros influence. How’s that working out for you? Juxtaposing that story with one about Nazi’s shows how similar they are. Bravo C.J.!
Not like the other books
I have really enjoyed the series with Joe Pickett. However, this book seemed to be written in haste. The depth was lacking and the storyline was much more simple compared to the other books in the series.
Great read
Love these Joe Pickett books and the show isn’t bad either.
