Reviews
Praise for STONE COLD "This marks a welcome return to the thing Box does best: putting family man Joe in a dicey situation where, despite his orders to merely observe, his own moral code means he can't help but light the fuse and see where it leads. Being in unfamiliar territory is familiar territory for Pickett, and corrupt-town scenarios are as old as the hills, but Box uses the ploys for maximum suspense."- Booklist "Exhilarating . . . Canny Joe uses his wits, taking time to assess the literal and figurative lay of the land."- Publishers Weekly Praise for BREAKING POINT "Like the forest fire described in the book, fans of this series will burn through the pages to discover who-dun-it and why. With each book, Joe Pickett has evolved as a complex, deep character, richly described by Box. Another must-read."- Library Journal (starred review) "Thrilling wilderness chases, chilling stories of the abuse of power, and Pickett's indomitable frontier spirit power this explosive novel."- Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "Box doles out the complications and misfortunes with masterly control . . . One of [Box's] most exciting [novels]."- Kirkus (starred review) "Thrilling . . . [You'll] have a hard time putting this one down and turning off the light." -Booklist " The tension starts early and never stops . . . [ Breaking Point is] the best installment yet in an already rich series."- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Box's high standards have never been more evident than in the 13th novel in his series about Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett. "Breaking Point" skillfully shows how government can enhance lives and preserve the environment while also portraying the legal system run amok. But "Breaking Point" is no treatise pitting an individual vs. the big bad Goliath of government. The tense plot of "Breaking Point" provides edge-of-the-seat suspense filled with unpredictable twists and realistic characters worth caring about set against the vivid wide open spaces of Wyoming."- South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Praise for STONE COLD "Box weaves vivid descriptions of Wyoming's landscape and the personal drama of Pickett's family into a blistering page-turner."- Arizona Republic "In C.J.

[a] fun read."-Associated Press "Another exciting read from crime fiction's king of the great outdoors."- Madison County Herald "The author has proven that he can write good -- no, great books."- Wyoming Eagle Tribune "With each book, Box just gets better.
