#1 New York Times bestseller C.J. Box returns with a blazing new Joe Pickett novel, in which the Wyoming game warden must investigate a murder that happens on his turf--a murder committed from a confoundingly long distance.
The wife of a prominent local judge is shot and killed on Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett´s turf. But as Joe investigates, all signs point to the shot having been taken from an impossibly long distance. Joe has seen a lot in his time as warden, but he´s never seen a killing like this. How could the shooting have been arranged? And who else is in the cross hairs?
At the same time--just as he´s adjusting to the arrival of a new baby, his first child--Joe´s best friend Nate Romanowski is attempting to decipher a startling grizzly attack in the area.
Beset by threats both man-made and natural, the two men must go to great lengths to figure out how to keep their loved ones safe.
