#1 New York Times bestseller C.J. Box returns with a blazing new Joe Pickett novel, in which the Wyoming game warden must investigate a murder that happens on his turf--a murder committed from a confoundingly long distance. When the wife of a prominent local judge is wounded on Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett's turf, all signs point to the shot having been taken from an impossible distance. At the same time--just as he's adjusting to the arrival of his first child--Joe's best friend, Nate Romanowski, is suspected of being the assassin. All this happens while Joe is attempting to decipher a startling grizzly attack. Beset by threats both man-made and natural, the two men must go to great lengths to keep their loved ones safe.

“Box’s Joe Pickett series is the best franchise in print today, regardless of genre—period. Pickett, a Wyoming game warden, is a special character, and Box has developed him (and Joe’s family) in a way rarely seen in print or on the screen. Box continues to use his deep cast of characters masterfully.”
— Real Book Spy
"[A] fast-paced, tightly written tale…filled with so many twists and red herrings that Box keeps readers guessing almost to the end.”
— Associated Press"Long Range, with its surprise ending, shows Box has lost none of his punch as both he and Joe Pickett grow older.”
— Denver Post“Clever plotting keeps this conspiracy yarn moving briskly…This is another top-flight crime yarn illustrating why Box’s readers are never happier than when Joe and Nate have reason to ‘get western.’”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Fans of this outstanding series will know better than to place their money against Joe.”
— Kirkus Reviews“An author who can take this increasingly popular genre—the modern western—and make it do whatever he wants…with a clear, easy style that plays nicely against the pulse-pounding tension. Box remains the gold standard among writers of modern western-mystery blends.”
