Joe Pickett, hero of C. J. Box's series, was a new discovery for me last year. I read one book and then hunted out four more. In Plain Sight is the sixth in the series, and the best. Box has it all: great characters, a wonderful sense of place, and a kind of western rural landscape that seems to embody the best of the United States. That is, if your vision of the United States includes murder.
The plot involves the disappearance of a local ranch owner. Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is a friend, and given his range of operations, it's logical that he'd be part of the hunt. But this being a Pickett novel, there's a whole lot more going on than a simple kidnapping or runaway, and everything escalates until a whole town becomes trapped in what may or may not be a family feud gone into murderous territory.
Box is at his best when he uses the gorgeousness of the American West as backdrop to the ugliness of human malevolence. By Margaret Cannon

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.
