Blood Trail (Joe Pickett #8)
by C.J. BoxA gripping read from C.J. Box, author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, now adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky. It's elk season in the Rockies, but this year one hunter is stalking a different kind of prey. When the call comes in on the radio, Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett can hardly believe his ears: game wardens have found a hunter dead at a camp in the mountains: strung up, gutted, skinned, and beheaded, as if he were the elk he'd been pursuing. A spent cartridge and a poker chip lie next to his body. Ripples of horror spread through the community, and with a possibly psychotic killer on the loose, Governor Rulon is forced to end hunting season early for the first time in state history, outraging hunters and potentially crippling the state's income from the loss of hunting licence revenue. But when the brutal murders eerily coincide with the arrival of radical anti-hunting activist Klamath Moore, Pickett knows the Governor's ruling is the least of his worries. Are the murders the work of a deranged activist or of a lone psychopath with a personal vendetta? As always, Joe Pickett is the governor's go-to man, and he's put on the case to track the murderous hunter, as more bodies - and poker chips - turn up.Reviews for Blood Trail'Box knows what readers expect and delivers it with a flourish.'

Free Fire (Joe Pickett #No. 7)
by C.J. BoxA thrilling read set in the American West from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, now adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.Joe Pickett, fired from his job as a Wyoming game warden, is working on his father-in-law's ranch when he receives a visit from Governor Rulon. The governor - a devious but down-home politico - has a special request, one Joe knows he can't refuse. Lawyer Clay McCann slaughtered four campers in a far-off corner of Yellowstone, then immediately turned himself in at the nearest ranger station. Seemed like a slam-dunk case for law enforcement... except that the crimes were committed on a sliver of land with zero residents and overlapping jurisdictions, the so-called free-fire zone. McCann has taken advantage of an obscure loophole in the law: neither the state nor the federal government can try the worst mass murderer in Wyoming history for his crime. Rulon, sensitive to the rising tide of public outrage, wants his own investigation into the murders and will reinstate Joe as a game warden if he'll go to Yellowstone 'without portfolio' to investigate. Joe, happy to get his badge back, even under these circumstances, agrees. It quickly becomes clear that McCann is deeply involved with some illegal activity taking place in the park - something tremendously lucrative and unusually dangerous. As Joe and his associate Nate Romanowski search for the key to the murders, they discover that it may be hidden in the rugged terrain of the park itself. Reviews for Free Fire 'Absorbing... his best yet.' Publishers Weekly'The setting, action, new characters and old favourites join together to enrich this compelling tale.'
