This is a quick easy read that keeps us abreast of the Picket family and the lawless traveling through Saddlestring, WY. The protagonist, Joe Pickett, is a regular guy with a pretty wife who find themselves perched on the edge of an empty nest, their three grown daughters out or nearly out of the house. There's no discontent in the life Joe leads as a Wyoming Game Warden, but there's always an overflow of drama. Propelled by honesty, loyalty to the duties of the job, and doing what's right, fate plunks Picket down into the crosshairs of the FBI, a group in the witness protection program, and a gruesome gang dubbed the Wolf Pack. Joe is no superhero and in this eighteenth book in the series, he is less resilient than when we first met him. So it must be asked, how long can his body handle the hard scrapes, bullet wounds, and stark Wyoming weather before something gives? I wonder. Source: Library loan.
