Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two different kinds of rampaging beasts—one animal, one human—in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C.J. Box.

A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage—killing, among others, the potential fiancée of Joe’s daughter. At the same time, Dallas Cates, who Joe helped lock up years ago, is released from prison with a special list tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the six people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.

Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates sets out to methodically check off his list. The problem is, both Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett are on it.

What sets this series apart isn’t just the high-stakes adventures but the quiet tension that builds between the sweeping landscapes and the intimate, often dangerous conflicts Pickett faces.

Joe’s world is one of shifting allegiances, hidden secrets, and unpredictable challenges, making every turn in the plot feel as precarious as the mountain cliffs he scales.

The series introduces a captivating cast of characters, from the steadfast Joe himself to his equally complex allies like Nate Romanowski, a falconer with a shadowy past. These characters feel like living, breathing entities shaped by both the land and the challenges they face. Whether battling wildfires, confronting ruthless criminals, or uncovering political conspiracies, Joe Pickett remains an unwavering force—his journey is as much about internal struggles as the external ones.
