"This stellar novel combines harrowing adrenaline rushes with complex morality..."

Game warden Joe Pickett has only a few days left on his remote patrol before he can return to his family. But there's strange doings in the Sierra Madre, and, as fans of Box's stalwart hero know, Pickett cannot leave a job undone. This stellar novel combines harrowing adrenaline rushes with complex morality, humor and a landscape described so vibrantly it seems to have a life all its own.
