Fourth in the Joe Pickett, Wyoming game warden series. Pickett comes across a dead moose, bizarrely mutilated, and then hears about a number of cattle killed the same way. Cows are not in his jurisdiction but, being Joe Pickett, he checks it out anyway. But then a local ranch hand is found dead with disturbing similarities, and before he knows it Pickett is on the task force to investigate the killings. Despite a huge boom in the oil & gas industry of the area, the killings are depressing local land prices, there's a weird alien abduction conspiracy theorist lurking about - but the FBI claims it could be birds and everyone else wants it to be a grizzly bear. Joe might be the only guy around who wants to know the real truth, and he's going to find it. These are always fast-paced and enjoyable. I liked that Joe doesn't make any bone-headed moves in this one; he comes to some erroneous conclusions, but doesn't end up wearing his own handcuffs. There's some 'woo-woo' bits this time, and not everything is explained fully, makes it a little different.
