"Game Warden Joe Pickett is back, but instead of tracking down poachers, he may be chasing ghosts in this new page-turner."
Book nine in the Joe Pickett series by C. J. Box starts with our Wyoming game warden in exile after the conclusion of the last book, Blood Trail. But when his eldest daughter Sheridan is supposedly contacted by the foster daughter they buried six years ago, he races back home to try and uncover what’s going on. Could April really still be alive? And how is she related to the string of violence that seems to be making the same journey across the country.
Although this story takes place outside of the hunting season, with the wildlife taking more of a back seat, the Wyoming setting is still brought to life as Joe, Sheridan and Nate travel through power plant country, to legendary cowboy hideouts, and away from the Bighorns into the Bear Lodge Mountains. Below Zero alludes to previous books in the series (Winterkill, to be specific), but is accessible to new readers without over-repetition for those that have read the back catalogue. With strong environmental themes and signature twisting and teasing narratives, this thriller will have you hooked until the final pages
