About this ebook

Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+

The past comes back to haunt game warden Joe Pickett and his family with devastating effect in this thrilling novel from #1 New York Times–bestselling author C. J. Box.

The plane circled in the dark. Joe Pickett could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber, and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. And Joe knew that he might be their next target.

The Cates family had always been a bad lot. Game warden Joe Pickett had been able to strike a fierce blow against them when the life of his daughter April had been endangered, but he’d always wondered if there’d be a day of reckoning. He’s not wondering any longer. Joe knows they’re coming after him and his family now. He has his friend Nate by his side, but will that be enough this time? All he can do is prepare...and wait for them to make the first move.

Ratings and reviews

I appreciate the time and effort and Imagination it takes to write a series of books like this. I find myself identifying with the fictional Joe Pickett, when it comes to his Meandering but thorough ways, as well as sometimes being a loner. I would have given it 5 Stars, except for the fact that there were a few facts mixed up from the last book which I had just finished prior to purchasing this one. Other than that, it held me Spellbound and I read the entire book over the course of two or three days! In fact, I read off the grid out of order, then went back to the very first Joe Pickett book and read the entire series up to and including this one in the last month! Thanks CJ for a wonderful explanation of The Life and Times of these fictional characters! Going to purchase the next one as soon as I submit this!

very descriptive text, let's you see what you read

Fast read Joe Pickett still fighting those demons and Nate continues to rip off ears
