Description

Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett’s hunt for a fugitive reveals a conspiracy in this taut thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.


Joe Pickett always liked Butch Roberson—a hard-working local business owner whose daughter is friends with Joe’s girls. Little does he know that when Butch says he’s heading into the mountains to scout elk, he is actually going on the run.
 
Two EPA employees have been murdered and all signs point to Butch as the killer. Joe learns that the land Butch and his wife had bought to retire on was declared a protected wetland by the EPA, and the subsequent fines have torn the family apart. Finally, it seems, the man just cracked.
 
It’s an awful story, but is it the whole story? The more Joe investigates, the more he begins to wonder—and he soon finds himself in the middle of a war in which he must choose sides.

A crooked EPA director is helping out a friend of his who is a neighbor of Butch Roberson, Joes friend. Butch’s house is blocking his few of a lake.A short time later agents from the EPA show on the property and tell him he is building on wetlands which is a lie and he has to move. They are also fining huge amounts of money every day if he does not return the land to the condition it was in prior to him bulldozing with his tractor to erect a home. What now ensues is the twisted abuse of power of the Director of the EPA. Another excellent read in this series!! Enjoyed immensely!! My highest recommendation!!

    Guilty until proven innocent? Drones? Hellfire misses? Those things would normally get my attention but, in retrospect, not in the way they were used in this story. Almost lost me but I’ll try one more book.
