A thrilling tale of suspense, vengeance, and murder,
featuring Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett.
J. W. Keeley is a man with a score to settle. He blames one
man for the death of his brother: Joe Pickett. And now J. W.
is going to make him suffer. Spring has finally come to
Saddlestring, Wyoming, and game warden Joe Pickett is
relieved the long, harsh winter is finally over. However, a
cloud of trouble threatens to spoil the milder weather-local
ranch owner and matriarch Opal Scarlett has vanished under
suspicious circumstances. Two of her sons, Hank and Arlen,
are battling for control of their mother's
multi-million-dollar empire, and their bitter fight
threatens to tear the whole town apart.
Everyone is
so caught up in the brothers' battle that they seem to have
forgotten that Opal is still missing. Joe is convinced,
though, that one of the brothers killed their mother.
Determined to uncover the truth, he is attacked and
nearly beaten to death by Hank Scarlett's new right-hand man
on the ranch-a recently arrived stranger who looks eerily
familiar.
A series of threatening messages and
attempts to sabotage Joe's career follow. At first, he
thinks the attacks are connected with his investigation of
Opal's disappearance, but he soon learns that someone else
is after him-someone with a very personal grudge who wants
to make Joe pay . . . and pay dearly. Compelling and
suspenseful, In Plain Sight is a crackling novel from
one of today's best mystery writers.
