What this book is about
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Saddlestring, Wyoming — underpaid, understaffed, and passionate about protecting wildlife and the land. When he finds a federal informant shot dead in his woodpile, Joe is pulled into a conspiracy that reaches far above his pay grade. The first Joe Pickett novel introduces one of modern crime fiction's most distinctive settings and most decent heroes.
