It’s elk season in the Rockies, but this year a different kind of hunter stalks a different kind of prey. When the call comes in on the radio, Joe Pickett can hardly believe his ears. Game wardens have found a hunter dead at a camp in the mountains—strung up, gutted and flayed as if he were the elk he’d been stalking. A spent cartridge and a poker chip lie next to his body. Ripples of horror spread through the community, and with a possibly psychotic killer on the loose, Governor Rulon is forced to end the hunting season early for the first time in state history. Are the murders the work of a deranged anti-hunting activist or a lone psychopath with a personal vendetta? Joe Pickett, as always, is the governor’s go-to man, and he’s put on the case—tracking the hunter even as more bodies, and more poker chips turn up.
Bold, fast-paced and with a controversial hook—hunters and anti-hunting activists—Blood Trail is proof that CJ Box keeps getting better and better.
