A past conflict closes in on Joe Pickett

Game warden Joe Pickett’s earlier clash with the Cates family returns as a direct threat to him and his family. With his friend Nate alongside him, Joe prepares for a confrontation whose timing and first move remain uncertain. The publisher’s description frames the danger around a personal reckoning: a conflict that once endangered Joe’s daughter now reaches beyond that earlier encounter, placing the family at its center. The setup connects the series’ game-warden protagonist with a crime-fiction struggle rooted in old enmities and the risks of protecting those close to him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers following the Joe Pickett series and its recurring characters.
  • Readers interested in crime fiction involving family danger and a returning feud.
  • Readers who enjoy mysteries centered on a game warden protagonist.

Book overview

Don't miss the JOE PICKETT series--now streaming on Paramount+

The past comes back to haunt game warden Joe Pickett and his family with devastating effect in this thrilling novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author C. J. Box.

The plane circled in the dark. Joe Pickett could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber, and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. And Joe knew that he might be their next target.

The Cates family had always been a bad lot. Game warden Joe Pickett had been able to strike a fierce blow against them when the life of his daughter April had been endangered, but he'd always wondered if there'd be a day of reckoning. He's not wondering any longer. Joe knows they're coming after him and his family now. He has his friend Nate by his side, but will that be enough this time? All he can do is prepare...and wait for them to make the first move.
