The Disappeared (A Joe Pickett Novel Book 18)

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.
