      3rd in the Joe Pickett series.Joe Pickett, game warden in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, runs across what is a massacre of elk just as a storm is about to hit. The killer is Lamar Gardniner, a district supervisor for the National Forest,and a friend of Joe’s. In the process of taking Gardiner in, Lamar manages to get the best of Joe, handcuff him to the steering wheel of his truck, and escape. Our antihero Joe removes the wheel from the steering column and tracks Gardiner down—to find him pinned to a tree by two arrows, quite dead.Thus begins another Joe Pickett adventure. Before he knows it, Joe will be caught up in Federal politics concerning oversight of land, and be forced to deal with an itinerant “nation” of the homeless and emotionally wounded who decide to “squat” on Federal land. In addition, he’s faced with personal tragedy in that the mother of the girl that he and his wife have been trying to adopt has come back to reclaim her daughter.Box always has good stories that involve issues that face the West today, such as the balance between Federal and state authority over public lands and how those lands are used. In this book he also has an interesting perspective on the roving homeless, and a different take on morality.I’m used to the idea that Box has interesting stories bound up totally in the West and that his sense of place is beautifully evoked. But what is surprising in this book is the definite uptick in the quality of his writing. He is still uncomfortable with portraying emotional states, but in every other regard, either he has taken a writing class or someone has coached and edited him to real improvement.I liked this series from the start even while taking the writing into account. With this book, Box takes a big step forward.

      C. J. Box is a really good author in that he develops his characters very well and his descriptions are so graphic. I almost put this book down several times due to the animal’s being killed. It just made me sick. So if you have an aversion to baby moose being killed, skip this one!

      Loved it! Very suspenseful, although the climax was a little anti-climactic. Maybe it's because I get confused during scenes of chaos.

      Joe Pickett is awesome.
    • 2/5
      The third in the series but probably my least favorite so far, which I don't know that the fault lays on the shoulder of the story, as it was a different narrator that wasn't all that great, or the fact that it was my third book in a row and perhaps I needed a break. Still going to continue with the series but going to take a break and welcome back the previous narrator.
    • 4/5
      Game warden Joe Pickett has many challenges in this book. The challenges are both personal and professional and he manages to succcessfully overcome most of them. He even needs to endure an extended visit from his mother-in-law. This book is mostly plot driven, with some character development. I agree with other reviewers that Box's writing is getting better, although in this book he does not match Nevada Barr, whose books have similar themes.Despite this I will continue to read his Joe Pickett books.
