"Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is on horseback patrol in a remote mountainous section of the state when he comes across a lone man fishing in a secluded lake. Citing him for fishing without a license sets in motion a string of events he can scarcely imagine. Soon Pickett is in a fight for his life against two fugitive bothers hiding out in the remote wilderness. Barely escaping with his life, he is forced to return to the wilderness to try to learn the fate of a young woman who went missing years before and learn her connection to the brothers. This was a fast paced and well written story, with Box's descriptions of the rugged mountain territory both vivid and inspiring. What was particularly interesting about this story was his incorporation of some political issues that have been gripping the country like the role of government in society and individual liberty vs. law and order. Box doesn't take one side or the other, but presents a convincing story about divergent views about the nature of liberty and personal freedom."

    " I love Joe Pickett books, not even so much for the mystery part of the books, but feeling like you know about his family and his concerns along the way. He is a very human protagonist. This story about two brothers who have been completely mistreated by the government and others in power seems a bit more political in its message, but is very readable nevertheless. "

    " Another government plot to bilk the common ordinary citizen out of their property uncovered by Joe Pickett with murder and mayhem the outcome. Interesting twist for Yoopers; the bad guys were from the U.P. of Michigan. Some were portrayed as the typical Yooper redneck gone criminal because of the government, while others were simply hired baddies. Of course, they went bad because of chronicaly bad economy. "

    " Catching up on the C. J. Box series now - Nowhere to Run was a solid entry in the Joe Pickett series. However, this one was a bit disappointing compared to some of the others. Don't get me a wrong, a slightly off book by C. J. Box is still a really good book, I just felt that something was off this time around. Part of the problem was the ending which felt rushed and was fairly unsatisfying. As usual, Joe finds himself in rather dangerous and unusual situation that is never as cut and dried as he would like. The moral dilemmas are always thought provoking and timely. "
