Breaking Point

The thrilling new Joe Pickett novel from the New York Times-bestselling author. Critics called Force of Nature an"amazing" (Associated Press), "outstanding" (Minneapolis Star Tribune), "warp speed . . . showdown between good and evil" (The Denver Post). "This is the best Box I´ve ever read, and I´ve read them all" (Library Journal). Breaking Point, however, takes Joe Pickett into uncharted territory. The question is: What will he do when he gets there? Joe Pickett always liked Butch Roberson-a hard-working local business owner whose daughter is friends with Joe´s girls. Little does he know that when Butch says he´s heading into the mountains to scout elk, he is actually going on the run. Two EPA employees have been murdered and all signs point to Butch as the killer. Joe learns that the land Butch and his wife had bought to retire on was declared a protected wetland by the EPA, and the subsequent fines have torn the family apart. Finally, it seems, the man just cracked. It´s an awful story, but is it the whole story? The more Joe investigates, the more he begins to wonder-and he soon finds himself in the middle of a war in which he must choose sides.
