The award-winning debut novel by New York Times bestseller C.J.
Box, Open Season is the first in the hugely successful Joe Pickett
series. Now adapted into the hit TV show Joe Pickett, streaming on
Paramount UK. There’s nothing unusual about the sound of a
gunshot in Twelve Sleep. Here in remotest Wyoming, where elk roam
the pine forests and cougars prowl the mountains, everyone owns a
gun. But when Joe Pickett hears two sharp cracks ring out months
before hunting season, it’s his job to investigate. As game
warden in Twelve Sleep, father-of-two Joe is not only badly paid
and poorly housed, but deeply unpopular. So when the source of the
shots – a well-known poacher – gets off scot-free after a
humiliating confrontation, the locals are delighted. And then the
poacher turns up dead in the Picketts' backyard. Charged with
investigating the first murder he’s ever encountered, Joe soon
finds himself swamped with questions,. Just why do his colleagues
want to sweep the case under the rug? Battling grudge-holding
neighbours with grudges, corrupt officials, and determined
activists, Joe begins to unravel a mystery that threatens the life
and the family he loves. Open Season is the winner of the highly
coveted Anthony, Gumshoe, Barry, and Macavity Awards for Best First
Novel. Reviews for Open Season 'A great crime novel.' Lee Child 'A
muscular first novel.' New York Times 'A debut of riveting
tensions.' Publishers Weekly 'Box remains square on target
throughout this nearly word-perfect debut... Joe Pickett is a Gary
Cooper for our time.' Booklist
