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 … 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.

My only regret is not reading CJ Box sooner! Great read.
You can always count on C J Box for a good read and this one won’t let you down. I read it in one sitting on a sleepless night.
another good book from CJ BOX.
I love the Joe Pickett series. This one, however was one of the best.
Read it in one day. Couldn’t put it down. The plot, a 4-person hit team after a man in WIT-SEC, was frighteningly realistic. Box’s main characters go into action to stop them, with mixed results. Awesome ending.
Joe Pickett is the best character ever. He’s a friend in my head.
Liked that Joe Pickett was back being a game warden again. In typical Box fashion, there are environmental issues, good guys, bad guys, really bad guys, and family issues.
I’ve read all of C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett Series. This one ranks right up near the top if not his best ever 🙂

Wolf Pack, a group of people or things that operate as a hunting and attacking pack. Get ready because C.J. Box delivers once again with the superb storyline with can’t help but fall in love with Joe Pickett. This time out he joins forces with game warden Katelyn Hamm to find and stop a drone operator who is scaring mule deer for fun with his drone. Then the simple turns deadly and the murders begin. Be prepared to enjoy a read you will not want to put down.
All of C.J. Box books are page turners. Great stories about mountain west (God’s country).
Tight plot, believable, well developed characters and awesome, action packed conclusion. Loved it!
