The gripping new Joe Pickett crime thriller set in the modern American West from New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box. When Joe is taken out of action, it's up to his daughters to find the truth.
Following the dramatic events at Battle Mountain, Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett is looking forward to things returning to normal.
Then he is shot by unknown assailants, rendering him incapacitated.
With Joe out of action, there's scope for local criminals to thrive. Or so they think...
Joe's three daughters team up to identify the culprit. They soon narrow the suspects down to members of three Wyoming ranch families. But with their father unable to assist, can the Pickett girls make their first case stick - or will the shooter evade justice
