Another great entry in the Joe Pickett series by Box. This one involves a deadly war between environmentalists and the Stockmen's Trust, a group of ranchers fighting to protect the old ways of the west including ranching, logging, etc. The book starts out with a bang when a cow explodes and supposedly kills the head of an environmental group and his wife. Joe Pickett, a Wyoming game warden, gets involved and comes up against members of the Trust including some hired killers (supposed stock detectives like the notorious Tom Horn) going after environmentalists, their lawyers, and a congressman who backs their ideals. This one was non-stop action and was really enjoyable. It is second in the Pickett series after Open Season which I also enjoyed. Another high recommendation and I'll be looking forward to more in the series.
