Perfect for you if...

  • You love procedural mysteries where the detective's persistence puts him in genuine danger, not just plot convenience.
  • You've watched the Paramount+ Joe Pickett series and want to experience the character's depth on the page.
  • You appreciate crime fiction grounded in regional detail, where Wyoming itself becomes part of the story's tension.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need standalone mysteries with complete closure, since this is book 18 and builds on prior relationships and conflicts.
  • You prefer cosy mysteries or lighter crime fiction without serious threats to the protagonist's family.
  • You're looking for international intrigue or glamorous settings, rather than ranches and small-town Wyoming politics.

About this book

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two challenging cases in this novel. The state's new governor asks him to investigate the disappearance of a prominent British executive who vanished from a high-end guest ranch she was visiting. The British Embassy is pressing for answers. While such disappearances sometimes occur at these ranches due to romantic entanglements, the lack of any trace months later suggests something more serious. Simultaneously, Pickett's friend Nate Romanowski requests his help with the Federal government regarding falconers who are being prevented from hunting with eagles despite holding valid permits. As Pickett investigates both matters, someone appears determined to stop his work. He must determine whether the pressure stems from the missing woman case, his advocacy for the falconers, or if the two cases are somehow connected. The truth proves worse than anticipated.
