Another good entry in the Joe Pickett series. In this one, the Picketts received a message that their foster daughter April called to talk to their daughter Sheridan. Could it really be her given that April was supposedly killed several years earlier in the events of Winterkill? Joe, who is on assignment as ranger in the town of Baggs, gets a leave of absence from the governor to try to track down the person claiming to be April. It turns out the girl has been taken by a Chicago mobster and his errant son who thinks he can change the world by wiping out people or things that contribute to the global warming problem. Along the way, Joe meets up again with Nate Romanowski, still being sought by the FBI, who helps him in his pursuit of April. He also takes Sheridan along on this mission. Some of the action takes place on a ranch near Devil's Tower, Wyoming -- a very interesting place I have visited a few times. Overall, another strong recommendation for this one.
