In Plain Sight author C.J. Box
Mystery novelist C.J. Box ain't one of those pale-skinned writers strapped indoors by the dull glow of a computer screen. In addition to hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding and skiing, he's also worked as a ranch hand and land surveyor. So it was easy for the Wyoming native to tap in to his love for the outdoors to create his character Joe Pickett. Joe is a Gary Cooper-ish Wyoming game warden who often finds himself around more dead people than woodland critters.
In Plain Sight, the series's sixth installment, finds Pickett investigating the disappearance of a ranching matriarch whose two sons are locked in a battle for control of the family empire. Add to that a vengeance-seeking psycho who blames Pickett for the death of his brother, plus a series of pranks that turn violent, and it seems our hero will have a little more than some bag-limit violations to worry about.

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.
