DARK SKY

C.J. Box

In DARK SKY, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett must accompany a Silicon Valley CEO on a hunting trip--but soon learns that he himself may be the hunted.
When the governor of Wyoming gives Joe Pickett the thankless task of taking a tech baron on an elk hunting trip, Joe reluctantly treks into the wilderness with his high-profile charge. But as they venture into the woods, a man-hunter is hot on their heels, driven by a desire for revenge. Finding himself without a weapon, a horse, or a way to communicate, Joe must rely on his wits and his knowledge of the outdoors to protect himself and his companion.

Meanwhile, Joe's closest friend, Nate Romanowski, and his own daughter Sheridan learn of the threat to Joe's life and follow him into the woods. In a stunning final showdown, the three of them come up against the worst that nature--and man--have to offer.

C.J. Box is the author of twenty previous Joe Pickett novels, six stand-alone novels, and a story collection. He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Barry Awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38, and he has been a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist. A Wyoming native, Box has also worked on a ranch and as a small-town newspaper reporter and editor. He lives outside Cheyenne, Wyoming, with his family. His books have been translated into 27 languages. The previous Joe Pickett novel was #20 Long Range (Putnam, March 2020.)

C. J. Box has been gradually aging Joe Pickett, his understated iconic protagonist, for 20 years. Both enter their third decade together with DARK SKY, a simple yet ambitious tale that hints of significant conclusions and portentous beginnings. ... This series has been excellent since its inception. Box has never been afraid to change things up and seems to be on the verge of doing so once again if the ending - one of the very best I have ever read - is any indication. I would urge readers who are unfamiliar with these books to jump in right now with both feet. Disappointment is not an option. Read more...
