What this book is about

Cattle and wildlife are being mutilated across Joe Pickett's Wyoming district in ways that suggest both ritualistic violence and something harder to explain. When a human body is discovered with the same characteristics, Joe investigates a case that challenges his rational framework. Trophy Hunt is the fourth Joe Pickett novel — Box's most overtly strange early entry.
