Description
THE THRILLING NEW YORK TIMES #2 BESTSELLING NOVEL FROM C.J. BOX.
Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two different kinds of rampaging killers - one animal, one human - in this riveting adventure from award-winning author C.J. Box.
A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage, killing, among others, the prospective fiance of Joe Pickett's daughter.
At the same time, Dallas Cates, who Joe helped lock up, is released from prison with a list of six names tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.
Targeted are his lawyer, a judge, the county prosecutor, a prison guard, Joe's associate Nate Romanowski - and Joe Pickett himself.
Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates devises a method of violence identical to the bear killings and sets out to methodically check off his list. Can Joe stop him before he himself becomes the next target on the killer's list?
