Another intense thriller from C. J. Box. Joe Pickett sees a local man slaughter 7 elk for no apparent reason. He arrests him and the man escapes with Joe finding his murdered body on a tree. The pace never lets up and all of the action is in the middle of winter and hard snow. A good example of government authority run amuck too. I really like Joe and his family.

It's an hour away from darkness, a bitter winter storm israging, and JoePickett is deep in the forest edging Battle Mountain, shotgun in his left hand, his truck's steering wheel handcuffed to his right hand, and the man he had arrested, lost, chased through snow, was in front of him, riddled with arrows. The mountain and snow storm warn to get off the mountain, but Joe knows that this episode is far from over; somewhere in the thick forest a killer may be drawing his bow and Joe is his prey. . . As usual C. J. Box presents a book filled with suspense, a hero who shows his human side, and a plot that is filled with surprises until the final whodunit. Good read.
Part of a great series about Wyoming.
