Outlaw falconer Nate Romanowski is off the grid and out for revenge in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.
The campaign of destruction that Axel Soledad and Dallas Cates wreaked on Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett left both men in tatters, especially Nate, who lost almost everything. Wondering if the civilized life left him vulnerable to attack, Nate dropped off the grid with his falcons in tow to prepare for vengeance.
When Joe gets a call from the governor asking for help finding his son-in-law, who has gone missing in the Sierra Madre mountain range, he enlists the help of a local, a rookie game warden named Susan Kany.
As Nate and fellow falconer Geronimo Jones circle closer to their prey, Joe and Susan follow the nearly cold trail to Warm Springs. Little do Nate and Joe know that their separate journeys are about to converge . . . at Battle Mountain.

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

Joe Pickett investigates a mysterious death at a secret high-tech
facility in this gripping new novel from #1 New York Times
bestseller C.J. Box. When a prominent University of Wyoming
professor goes missing, authorities are stumped. That is, until
Game Warden Joe Pickett makes two surprising discoveries in his
district. First, Joe finds the professor's vehicle parked on a
remote mountainside. Then he finds the professor's frozen and
mutilated body. When he attempts to learn more, Joe's investigation
is obstructed by Federal agents, extreme environmentalists, and
Governor Colter Allen. Meanwhile, Joe's associate, falconer Nate
Romanowski, is approached by a shadowy group of local militant
activists who are gaining in power and influence, and demanding
that Wyoming join other western states in seceding from the Union
– by force, if necessary. They ask Nate to throw in his lot with
them, but should he trust them, or is he being set up? As a storm
of peril gathers around them, Joe and Nate confront it in different
ways – and maybe, for the first time, on opposite sides.

from the south, the Wolf Pack have been tracking their prey across
the USA. Behind them, a trail of dead - ahead, their target. They
will let nothing will get in their way - especially two game
