C. J. Box, one of mystery's most exciting new talents, offers more thrills and chills amid the dangerous beauties of the Wyoming wilderness in Winterkill. Game warden Joe Pickett is used to working alone: He has a 1,500-square-mile district to patrol, and when things are going well he sees more wildlife than people, even during hunting season. Unfortunately, things aren't going so well this winter: Just days before Christmas, as a massive storm builds in the mountains, Joe comes upon a crime -- an elk slaughter committed by a local federal bureaucrat. Things get more complicated when the criminal escapes into the storm, only to be killed by an unknown assailant armed with a powerful hunting bow. Joe's search for the murderer is complicated by more deadly weather, plus jurisdictional disputes, political power plays, and family worries. The sheriff and a power-hungry federal investigator want to pin the crime on forces from a recently arrived antigovernment isolationist group. But as the investigation unfolds, Joe begins to suspect that the real killer is someone local, shielded by familiarity and the powerful storms that bury and erase vital evidence. Unfortunately, more than truth and justice hang in the balance -- it's also a personal matter for Joe, whose beloved foster daughter has been returned to the custody of her birth mother, who is one of the isolationists. - Sue Stone

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.
