Free Fire
PREORDER C.J. BOX'S THRILLING NEW NOVEL THE CROSSROADS NOW!
In this gripping crime thriller set in the Wyoming wilderness, Joe Pickett is made an offer he just can't refuse...
Joe Pickett, fired from his job as Wyoming Game Warden, receives an unexpected visit from Governor Rulon. The wily governor has a special request, one Joe knows he can’t refuse.
Lawyer Clay McCann slaughtered four campers in a far-off corner of Yellowstone, then immediately turned himself in. Yet as the crimes were committed on a sliver of land with overlapping jurisdictions, the so-called free-fire zone, nobody can try the worst mass murderer in Wyoming history for his crime.
Rulon, aware of the public outrage, will reinstate Joe if he’ll investigate. With McCann deeply involved with unusually dangerous illegal activity, Joe realises the key to the murders may be hidden in the rugged terrain of Yellowstone itself.
