New York, NY: Putnam. (2014)

From C. J. Box, the New York Times-bestselling author of the Joe Pickett novels, comes a thrilling book of suspense stories about the Wyoming he knows so well–and the dark deeds and impulses that can be found there.
Over the course of eighteen books, C. J. Box has been consistently hailed for his brilliant storytelling and extraordinary skills at creating character, suspense, and a deep sense of place. All of those strengths are in the ten riveting stories–three of them never before published–that make up Shots Fired.
In One-Car Bridge, one of four Joe Pickett stories, Pickett goes up against a just plain mean landowner, with disastrous results, and in Shots Fired, his investigation into the radio call referred to in the title nearly ends up being the last thing he ever does. In Pirates of Yellowstone, two Eastern European tough guys find out what it means to be strangers in a strange land, and in Le Sauvage Noble, the stranger is a Lakota in Paris who enjoys playing the noble savage for the French women–until he meets Sophie. Then he discovers what savage really means.
Shots Fired is proof once again why Box is a force to be reckoned with (The Providence Journal-Bulletin).

New York, NY: Putnam (2008)

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 pursuing. A spent cartridge and an old poker chip lie next to his body. Suddenly, two previous suspicious hunting accidents are viewed in a new light.
Ripples of horror spread through the community, and with a possibly psychotic killer on the loose, Governor Rulon is forced to end hunting season early for the first time in state history – outraging hunters and potentially crippling the state’s income from the loss of hunting license revenue. But when the increasingly brutal murders eerily coincide with the arrival of radical antihunting activist Klamath Moore, Pickett knows the governor’s ruling is the least of his worries. Are the murders the work of a deranged activist or of a lone psychopath with a personal vendetta?
As always, Joe Pickett is the governor’s go-to man, and he’s put on the case to track the murderous hunter, as more bodies – and poker chips – turn up.
