Blood Trail

THE VOICE OF THE AMERICAN WEST Don't miss CJ Box's latest thriller, The Crossroads, where Joe's daughters investigate the attempted murder of their father... Available to order now. It's elk season in the Rockies, but this year one hunter is stalking a different kind of prey. Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett takes the call when a hunter is found dead in the mountains. But this was no accident: the man was strung up, gutted, skinned and beheaded, as if he were the elk he'd been pursuing. With a killer on the loose and the public horrified, Governor Rulon is forced to end hunting season early for the first time in state history, losing Wyoming lucrative revenue and infuriating hunters. That's the least of Joe's worries, for soon another murder victim is discovered. Are the killings the work of a deranged anti-hunting activist, or of a psychopath with a personal vendetta? With tensions rising, Joe must hunt down the murderer before they strike again. A thrilling read set in the American West from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, now adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky. Why readers love the Joe Pickett series... 'A great crime novel.'
