Joe Pickett is part of the investigation of a terrible scene. An ecoterrorist and his bride are blown up by a cow that was wired to a bomb. When Joe has to tell the rancher whose cattle were involved, the man insists that he be reimbursed and seems to have little concern for the human lives that were lost. Joe is convinced that the rancher is also guilty of poaching but no one seems to want to accuse the wealthy and powerful man. Things get even stranger when Marybeth starts getting calls from the man who was supposed to have been killed in the explosion.
I really enjoyed this episode about Joe Pickett. There is one point where Joe should have sought backup before he went in to a dangerous situation, but that's the way Joe Pickett rolls, right? As usual, C.J. Box makes a good point about the extremes of ecoterrorists and those who have no consideration for the preservation of the earth and wildlife. I have enjoyed slowly making my way through this series.
