Description

#1 New York Times bestseller C.J. Box returns with a new Joe Pickett novel. THE TIME HAS COME It's a crisp October morning in Wyoming's Twelve Sleep County, and game warden Joe Pickett should be keeping watch over his patch. Instead, the state governor has roped him into leading Silicon Valley billionaire Steven Price on a hunting trip. The department is facing major budget cuts and Price's social media empire could bring serious business into the state if someone can persuade him of Wyoming's charms. It looks like a straightforward job, but unbeknownst to Joe, there is a hunter hot on their heels, one with a different manner of prey in mind. When Joe's daughter Sheridan and his closest friend Nate Romanowksi learn of the threat, they head out to rescue Joe and his charge. To get out of the woods alive, they will all have to draw on their wits and knowledge of the outdoors as they confront the worst man and nature can throw at them. Praise for C.J. Box: 'Heart-stoppingly good' Daily Mail 'Solid-gold A-list must-read' Lee Child 'I love Joe Pickett' Michael Connelly 'Exhilarating... Gung-ho stuff' Sunday Times 'Box is an exemplary writer of crime novels' Financial Times

PRAISE FOR C.J. BOX: 'Box is the king of contemporary crime fiction set in the West' Publishers Weekly (starred review) for Wolf Pack. 'One of his most tightly wound tales, with more thrills than a snowy road on a steep mountain and more authority than the governor of Wyoming' Kirkus Reviews for Wolf Pack. 'A masterful storyteller who writes sublimely... Box screws up the tension unbearably' * Irish Independent *
