Joe Pickett, a former Wyoming game warden, is offered an intriguing proposition by Governor Rulon. The governor asks him to investigate a murder case involving four campers in a remote area of Yellowstone National Park. However, due to overlapping jurisdictions, the killer cannot be tried for his crimes. Recognizing the public's outrage, Governor Rulon offers to reinstate Joe as a game warden if he agrees to investigate the case. Joe, eager to regain his badge, accepts the offer. The key to solving the murders may lie in the rugged terrain of Yellowstone itself, where McCann is deeply involved in illegal activities. The novel has received positive reviews, with Publishers Weekly describing it as his best yet. The setting, action, new characters, and old favorites are praised, making it a compelling tale. The Denver Post describes it as delivering like a well-oiled rifle, taking down its trophy elk at three hundred yards. The Madison County Herald calls it a splendid thriller, deftly plotted and skillfully executed. The San Diego Union-Tribune also praises the novel, describing it as a splendid thriller, deftly plotted and skillfully executed.
