Impressive precision and heart-gripping suspense....Good characters an extra good story and
great scenes of life and death in the wilderness--New York Times Book Review From #1 New York
Times bestseller C.J. Box a top-tier 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. When Joe Pickett is asked to join the rescue efforts for the victim of a startling
grizzly attack he reluctantly leaves his district behind. One survivor of the grizzly's
rampage tells a bizarre story but just as Joe begins to suspect the attack is not what it
seems he is brought home by an emergency on his own turf. Someone has targeted a prominent
local judge shooting at him from a seemingly impossible distance. While the judge was not hit
his wife is severely wounded and it is up to Joe to find answers--and the shooter. The search
for the would-be assassin becomes personal when Joe's best friend Nate Romanowski--just as
he's adjusting to the arrival of his first child--falls under suspicion for the crime. It's a
race against the clock as Joe tries to clear Nate's name and identify the real shooter all
while deciphering the grizzly encounter. Beset by threats both man-made and natural the two
men must go to great lengths to keep their loved ones safe.
