Loved this start to a series with Joe Pickett, a Wyoming game warden, as the main character. Box does a great job with both characterization and locale. The plot centers around the conflict between a gas line that would bring work to the rural Wyoming town and the possibility of an endangered species being in the area. Greed and power mongering make folks who Pickett trusted not so trustworthy. Pickett seems a little out of his depth in this book, very principled and a little naive...but a great father. I'm looking forward to getting to know Pickett and his family better, since this is the first of 11 so far. I love a new (to me) series!
