Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is called in when a rogue grizzly bear attacks and kills a hunter during a busy elk-hunting season. The hunt for the bear is unsuccessful, and with other hunters canceling their trips, the local economy takes a hit. When additional bear attacks happen in unlikely places—and far from one another—Pickett and his team are perplexed. How can one bear be responsible for the many attacks? Then Pickett gets the news that his old nemesis, Dallas Cates, has been released from prison. At the same time, a museum’s taxidermied grizzly bear goes missing. The pieces begin to fall into place, with deadly consequences. In the 24th book in the “Joe Pickett” series (after
Storm Watch), Box continues the adventures of the Pickett family in the wilds of Wyoming. He weaves facts about grizzly bears and other wildlife along with commentary about Wyoming’s human inhabitants into this fast-paced listen. Longtime series narrator David Chandler demonstrates his facility with Box’s characters and environment, keeping the tension high and providing an excellent range of voices.
VERDICT Newbies and series fans will be on the edge of their seats.
