Joe Pickett is headed for home after a week in the mountains. He has been reassigned to a district near his home. That's why it doesn't make much sense for him to put himself in harm's way to trace down whoever seems to be stealing wild game. When Joe runs into the Brothers Grim, he realizes that he has met up with a force like none he has ever seen. Joe manages to escape with his life with the help of a strange woman. When he gets home, people doubt the story he tells and Joe finds out that the enemy he is dealing with has many strange and twisted complications.
I have read a couple of books by C.J. Box before but this one caught my interest right away. It was quick, full of action and suspenseful. I never enjoy the parts where Joe is filled with self-doubt and recriminations. There was an underlying message of big government and the rights of civilians that was a little heavy handed to me but overall it was a great read.
