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, 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. And he is right to be concerned. 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. When he'd first saddled up, he'd thought of this as his last patrol. What he hadn't known was just how accurate that thought might turn out to be.

He's game: solve another mystery with Joe Pickett.©2010 C.J. Box (P)2010 Recorded Books, LLC Mystery Thriller & Suspense Fiction Suspense

Critic reviews

"Box inexorably builds Joe's harrowing personal quest into a complex meditation on human greed and government corruption. A lone black wolf, possibly Box's symbol for the wilderness within and without the human soul, tracks Joe throughout this terrible, beautiful tale of courage and compassion and culpability." ( Publishers Weekly)
" Nowhere to Run, the tenth in the series, ranks with his best books....Readers should take note of their surroundings before opening this book: once they start reading, they won’t know what hit them." ( Booklist)

This is part of the Joe Picket series, following the game warden in Wyoming. The start of this was edge-of-your-seat intensity, as Joe fights for his life to escape two crazy, rural brothers. Much of the rest of the novel focuses on who are those brothers, and why are they causing trouble. Is there a connection to a jogger who had disappeared in that area of the mountains? This part was less engaging but I still liked it. I enjoyed this novel mostly because I really like the Joe Picket character. He is a decent, believable character who does what he loves in spite of the tiny wages it pays for he and his wife to raise their girls. I like the rural setting as well. This is a rare time I listened to a second in a series, and will probably try another in the series at some point.

enjoyable rural mystery thriller

Each one of these books in this Joe Pickett series gets better and better. CJ Box, has an incredible talent on growing each character Book after book. My only complaint is I wish he give us more in the endings. But I just love this series.

A great ride

In a previous book April, their foster daughter was a first grader and died in a fire. But she’s back in this story as a rebellious teen. Other than that I enjoy Box’s stories.

Good story about things not always being what they appear to be.

I loved it on its entirety. The way the characters were developed was awesome. More movies should be made by CJ Box’s books.

The great narrator that brought the book to life
