I waited patiently for this next Joe Pickett novel to come out and checked it out at the library as soon as it was available. Another good outing in the series...I was not disappointed! This one was in essence a followup to Endangered where Joe had taken on the vicious Cates family. Dallas Cates has been released from prison and is out for revenge against Joe and his family who he blames for the death of his father and two brothers and for the crippling of his mother who is now serving time in State prison as related in Endangered. As the novel starts out, one of the series regular characters, Dave Farkus, overhears Cates and some cohorts in a bar planning revenge on Pickett. Farkus ends up dead and Dallas is arrested for the crime but it appears he is set up by a local law enforcement officer. But was that really the case and how could Dallas afford a very high-priced attorney to get him off? Joe's unsavory mother-in-law, Missy, returns in this one and is now on her 6th marriage to the high-priced attorney. Nate Romanowski also helps Joe in his endeavors to sort everything out and bring justice to those deserving. A few good twists and unexpected occurrences along the way add to this good thriller in the series. Another high recommendation for Box and the Joe Pickett series. I guess I'll have to wait another year for the next one!
