Publisher Description
C. J. Box has won a host of awards, including the Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Barry. By shedding new light on his popular hero’s past, In Plain Sight adds depth to a series that seems to get better with each riveting new mystery.
After ranch owner Opal Scarlett goes missing, game warden Joe Pickett takes a hard look at Opal’s sons. With a multi-million dollar empire up for grabs, nothing—even matricide—seems beyond the realm of possibility. But as someone launches a campaign of violent harassment against the dogged game warden, Pickett’s thoughts turn to his own past and a passage of his life that may be coming back to haunt him.

"I love the settings of this series - makes me so want to go to Wyoming (maybe in a month or two...not winter!) as Box describes its beauty and the animals. Here, Pickett has a new admirer who wants to settle some perceived 'wrongs' that were done to him. The guy (related to the Keeleys in the earlier storyline) is a complete whack-a-do and, fortunately, because he is, we don't have to worry about him past this book. The new Governor is introduced briefly and Joe gets fired near the end...thankfully. Not sure I would've hung on as long as he did after being treated like dog poo on your shoe by his superiors but. . .then again, I don't have a family of four to support either. While this story does center on the Scarlett family and their dysfunction junction known as the Thunderhead Ranch, it is all settled out at the end and it was really quite odd how the whole thing goes down. My only criticism is that Box spends about 210 of the 225 pages leading up to the grand finale and then whoosh, it's over - kind like the flash floods that were running amok at the end."
