A shooting at a three-way crossroads

Joe Pickett is found critically wounded at Antler Creek Junction, where roads connect three ranches and their feuding families. With Joe unable to explain where he was headed, his wife Marybeth and the new sheriff face several possible suspects. His daughters Sheridan, April, and Lucy take up separate investigations into the families, trying to piece together what happened while Joe remains unconscious. The crossroads gives the mystery a clear structure: each road leads toward a different family with grievances against the local game warden, and the search for answers unfolds alongside the effort to save him.

Book overview

Game warden Joe Pickett fights for his life as his daughters try to uncover who shot him and left him for dead in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.

Marybeth Pickett gets the call she has always dreaded: her husband Joe is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

Joe was found in his pickup at Antler Creek Junction, a crossroads connecting three ranches. Each road leading to a dangerous family. Each family with a different bone to pick with the local game warden. Marybeth and the new sheriff assume that Joe was ambushed by one of the families, but they have no idea which one since Joe didn't say where he was going or why.

With Joe unconscious and fighting for his life with Marybeth at his side, Sheridan, April, and Lucy split up and investigate each of families to uncover the truth of what happened to their father, before it's too late.
