Game warden Joe Pickett returns in a twisting, action-packed tale of greed, power, and murder.
Joe Pickett is attempting to enjoy-all right, survive-his mother-in-law's wedding to a local big-shot rancher when he receives some disturbing news: Will Jensen, a fellow Wyoming game warden and a good friend, has killed himself. And Joe's been picked to temporarily run Jensen's Teton district.
Jackson, Wyoming, is a far cry from Joe's hometown of Saddlestring-it's the epicenter for many environmental extremists and an elite playground for the rich and powerful-and Joe quickly finds himself in over his head. Yet despite the pressures of his new job, he can't get his friend's suicide out of his mind. By all accounts, Will had changed in the last few months, becoming violent and unpredictable.
The closer Joe comes to the truth about Will's death, the more his own life spirals out of control-and he realizes that if he's not careful, he may end up as Jackson's next victim. "Out of Range" proves once again that C. J. Box is one of the most original and entertaining voices in mystery fiction.

The victim's worst enemy was himself.

When an elderly man is found dead in his home, the angle of his neck says he fell down the stairs. The stab wound on his body tells a different story.

Moreton spent a lifetime making enemies and now DS George Cross needs to uncover which one finally struck back. Because in all of Alistair's years, there was something important he never learned.

If you go through life hurting people, don't be surprised when they teach you a lesson.

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.

Joe Pickett's in his last week as the temporary game warden in the town of Baggs, Wyoming, but there have been strange things going on in the mountains, and his conscience won't let him leave without checking them out: reports of camps looted, tents slashed, AND elk butchered.

And then there's the runner who simply vanished one day. Joe doesn't mind admitting that the farther he rides, the more he wishes he could just turn around and go home.

When he'd first saddled up, Joe had thought of this as his last patrol. What he hadn't known was just how accurate that thought might turn out to be. Because what awaits him is like nothing he's ever dealt with: like something out of an old story, except this is all too real and too deadly.

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two different kinds of rampaging killers – one animal, one human – in this riveting NEW YORK TIMES #2 BESTSELLING NOVEL from award-winning author C.J. Box.

A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage, killing, among others, the prospective fiancé of Joe Pickett's daughter.

At the same time, Dallas Cates, who Joe helped lock up, is released from prison with a list of six names tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.

Targeted are his lawyer, a judge, the county prosecutor, a prison guard, Joe's associate Nate Romanowski – and Joe Pickett himself.

Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates devises a method of violence identical to the bear killings and sets out to methodically check off his list. Can Joe stop him before he himself becomes the next target on the killer's list?

Could Joe Pickett's foster daughter, seemingly killed six years ago, still be alive? A gripping read from award-winning author and New York Times bestseller C.J. Box.

When the texts turn ominous, Marybeth discovers that they are being sent from locations where vicious murders have taken place. Desperate to discover if April really is still alive and if so, to protect her, Joe and Sheridan take to the road with Joe's associate Nate Romanowski.

Their paths will cross with a dying Chicago mobster on a mission of his own, as Joe and his family seek to discover the truth, and if the danger is as real as it seems.
