Savage Run

C. J. Box's debut novel, <i>Open Season</i>, with its memorable new hero, thrilling plot, and vivid settings, hit the mystery-book world with the force of a speeding rifle bullet-and put it &quot;on the Best of the Year track&quot; (<i>Los Angeles Times</i>) . Now C. J. Box returns with a gripping and suspenseful new novel, as dramatic and brutal as its Wyoming wilderness setting. <br><br> When a massive explosion occurs deep within the forests of Twelve Sleep County and a colorful environmental activist appears to have perished in the blast, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is called to the scene to help investigate. Pickett soon discovers clues that lead to a deadly conspiracy-one that will test his courage, his survival skills, and his determination to &quot;do the right thing&quot; despite all costs. <br><br> A richly textured novel, <i>Savage Run</i> is an exciting confirmation of the talents of a writer hailed by Tony Hillerman as &quot;a great storyteller.&quot;
