The first novel in the thrilling series featuring
Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett from #1 New York
Times bestselling author C. J. Box.
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming,
a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game
warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or
look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a
local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile
behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There
had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had
run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die
in. Even after the "outfitter murders," as they have been
dubbed by the local press after the discovery of the two
more bodies, are solved, Joe continues to investigate,
uneasy with the easy explanation offered by the local
police.
As Joe digs deeper into the murders, he soon
discovers that the outfitter brought more than death to
his backdoor: he brought Joe an endangered species,
thought to be extinct, which is now living in his woodpile.
But if word of the existence of this endangered species
gets out, it will destroy any chance of InterWest, a
multi-national natural gas company, building an oil
pipeline that would bring the company billions of dollars
across Wyoming, through the mountains and forests of
Twelve Sleep. The closer Joe comes to the truth behind the
outfitter murders, the endangered species and InterWest,
the closer he comes to losing everything he holds dear.
