C. J. Box is another brilliant voice from the American West. His series featuring game warden Joe Pickett is set among the mountains and forests of Wyoming. People hunt, fish and eat meat, and they do it without apology.
The story begins as a Wyoming game warden cooks and eats four and a half pounds of meat. After finishing, he takes out a gun and blows his head off. He was a close friend of Pickett, who's selected to cover his range temporarily. That takes Joe from his comfortable small Wyoming town into the rich and powerful city of Jackson Hole. Joe finds out quickly that no one is very concerned about why the game warden killed himself. The consensus is he was having some sort of breakdown.
The local powerbrokers quickly try to co-opt Pickett. There are conflicts over pricey hunting and outfitting camps, and developers who want to build mansions in fields where deer and bear roam. Besides being a fine mystery, this is a great way to learn about the complex world of big game, and the wardens who protect both the animals and the humans who hunt them. By MARGARET CANNON

Four weeks on the extended New York Times bestseller list...Optioned for film by producers Michael Besman ("About Schmidt") and Cameron Lamb...
This break-out novel from the author of the New York Times Bestselling Joe Pickett novels is "a non-stop thrill-ride…a provocative suspense novel that has you rooting for the characters every step of the way." -- Harlan Coben
A twelve-year-old girl and her younger brother go on the run in the woods of North Idaho, pursued by four men they have just watched commit murder—four men who know exactly who William and Annie are, and who know exactly where their desperate mother is waiting for news of her children’s fate. Retired cops from Los Angeles, the killers easily persuade the inexperienced sheriff to let them lead the search for the missing children.
J. W. Keeley is a man with a score to settle. He blames one man for the death of his brother: Joe Pickett. And now J.W. is going to make him suffer.
Game Warden Joe Pickett returns in a twisting, action-packed tale of greed, power, and murder. And meat.
This time, I wanted to write a mystery. Of course, the previous Joe Pickett novels are considered mysteries, or thrillers set in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming.
WINTERKILL is one of the TOP TEN MYSTERIES OF 2003 according to Oline Cogdill of the South Florida Sun Sentinal: "Few mystery authors who use the environment as a plot foundation are as even-handed an
Laconic Joe Pickett returns to his slightly offbeat duties in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains in C. J. Box's Savage Run.
In advance reviews, Open Season has been pronounced "something special," (Booklist), and it lives up to the billing. It is not C.J.
