Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Don't miss the Spectrum Originals series JOE PICKETT!

The first novel in the thrilling series featuring Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett from #1 New York Times bestselling author C. J. Box.


Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game wardenâ??especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other wayâ??is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in. Even after the "outfitter murders," as they have been dubbed by the local press after the discovery of the two more bodies, are solved, Joe continues to investigate, uneasy with the easy explanation offered by the local police.

As Joe digs deeper into the murders, he soon discovers that the outfitter brought more than death to his backdoor: he brought Joe an endangered species, thought to be extinct, which is now living in his woodpile. But if word of the existence of this endangered species gets out, it will destroy any chance of InterWest, a multi-national natural gas company, building an oil pipeline that would bring the company billions of dollars across Wyoming, through the mountains and forests of Twelve Sleep. The closer Joe comes to the truth behind the outfitter murders, the endangered species and InterWest, the closer he comes to losing everything he holds

(2001) After watching the first season of ?Joe Pickett? on Paramount I thought I would re-read this novel. Turns out I had never read it. I found myself comparing the story to the TV series and remarkably the producers/writers had not strayed too far from the book. The discovery of a long-thought extinct Miller's Weasel becomes Joe's first big case as a pipeline construction is threatened and a couple corrupt game wardens try to exterminate the animals in order to profit from the pipeline coming thru Saddlestring WY. Joe, Marybeth and Sheridan all become involved in solving the mystery of dead outfitters. Also, Marybeth loses her unborn baby to a gunshot from Wacey, one of the corrupt officials. Pretty good first book. Glad I discovered it. KIRKUS: Rookie Twelve Sleep County Game Warden Joe Pickett's not much of a shot, and he's been looking like a goat ever since poacher Ote Keeley got the drop on him with his own gun during a routine arrest. But at least he's doing better than Ote, who's turned up dead on the woodpile outside Joe's house. Joe's search in Crazy Woman Creek canyon for the two outfitters and guides Ote was most recently partnered with ends happily, though violently, and suddenly Joe is the man of the hour. Longtime County Sheriff Bud Barnum nervously asks Joe's assurance that he's not going to support neighboring game warden Wacey Hedeman's challenge in the upcoming election; trophy wife Aimee Kensinger, who really likes men in uniforms, invites Joe's family to housesit her palatial digs for three weeks; and wily Vern Dunnegan, Joe's predecessor, wants Joe to join him in pulling down big bucks from InterWest resources, the fat-cat corporation for whose gas pipeline Vern's lining up local support. All this good news is only a front, of course, for a monstrous assault on Joe's livelihood, his integrity, and his family¥and incidentally on an inoffensive species long assumed extinct. In response, Joe promises one of the bad guys that ?things are going to get real western,? and that's exactly what happens in the satisfyingly action-filled climax.A high-country Presumed Innocent that moves like greased lightning. First of a welcome new series, though it's hard to imagine tourism-marketing exec Box topping his debut.Pub Date: July 9, 2001ISBN: 0-399-14748-9Page Count: 304Publisher: Putnam

Interesting story, well developed characters. I didn’t like the swearing, especially the ‘F’ word. ( )
  LuLibro | Jan 22, 2024 |
This is going to be a fun, no-brains-needed series of books. Just what I need to counter the more serious books I'm delving into.

Completely awesome. ( )
