About this ebook

Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+

Joe Pickett’s pursuit of a killer through the rugged mountains of Wyoming takes a horrifying turn when his beloved foster daughter is kidnapped in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

It's an hour away from darkness, a bitter winter storm is raging, and Joe Pickett is deep in the forest edging Battle Mountain, shotgun in his left hand, his truck's detached steering wheel handcuffed to his right—and Lamar Gardiner's arrow-riddled corpse splayed against the tree in front of him. Lamar's murder and the sudden onslaught of the snowstorm warn: Get off the mountain. But Joe knows this episode is far from over. And when his own daughter gets caught up in his hunt for the killer, Joe will stop at nothing to get her back...

Ratings and reviews

My only problem with the book was that chapter 35 isn't complete. It goes from Pickett thinking that Melinda Strickland didn't even care about the dog....right to chapter 36. I would love to know how that meeting ends.

CJ Box. Is a absolute genius. He keeps you entranced from the start to the finish. I feel like I actually know Joe and his family. Outstanding..

Enjoyed this as much as the previous Joe Pickett novels. Looking forward to the next book, "Trophy Hunt."
