C.J. Box serves up a lot of red meat -- some of it still raw and bloody -- in OUT OF RANGE (Putnam, $24.95), his fifth novel about a Wyoming game warden named Joe Pickett who patrols the rugged Saddlestring District of the Bighorn Mountains. When another game warden, who is also a friend, shoots his brains out with a .44 Magnum, Joe is temporarily assigned to his Jackson district, 1,885 square miles of "spectacular, roadless mountain wilderness" that extends to the Continental Divide. "Don't go crazy over in Jackson," a friend warns him about this untamed region, which is not only home to vast numbers of elk, wolves, grizzly bears and mountain lions, but also attracts "animal-rights activists, wolf lovers, big-shot developers, politicians, movie stars, all kinds of riffraff." Although the villainous specimens Joe encounters are so broadly drawn as to be cartoons, Box redeems himself by giving voice to intelligent arguments about game hunting and raising animals for slaughter, and with his compassionate account of the bone-hard and deeply stressful life of a game warden. The glorious scenery is a bonus. By Marilyn Stasio

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.
