A killing in Yellowstone’s jurisdictional blind spot

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is hired to investigate the killing of four campers in a remote area of Yellowstone described as a “free-fire” zone, beyond ordinary local jurisdiction. The admitted killer, attorney Clay McCann, is now free, and the inquiry turns toward a motive concealed in the park’s rugged terrain. The setting is integral to the mystery: isolation and uncertainty over who has authority shape the conditions surrounding the case. The premise combines a mass-killing investigation with a search for what lies behind it, while keeping the danger close to the landscape where the crime occurred.

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett hunts a mass murderer in Yellowstone in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box.


Joe Pickett's been hired to investigate one of the most cold-blooded mass killings in Wyoming history. Attorney Clay McCann admitted to slaughtering four campers in a back-country corner of Yellowstone National Park--a "free-fire" zone with no residents or jurisdiction. In this remote fifty-square-mile stretch a man can literally get away with murder. Now McCann's a free man, and Pickett's about to discover his motive--one buried in Yellowstone's rugged terrain, and as dangerous as the man who wants to keep it hidden.
