"This was the first of the Joe Pickett series. Wyoming has far reaches for Joe and the job of forest ranger. He tracks down unlicensed hunters, squatters, and protects visitors from wild animals. In this story, Joe must go to Jackson, Wyoming to protect against animal rights activists: those who want the animals to roam free and not be prey and those who want to raise their own animals and slaughter them as they choose. The ranger before Joe died under suspicious circumstances, setting into motion Joe's hunt for justice. I haven't read any of C J Box before, but he certainly has my interest piqued. I have ordered the first one in the series to see how this all starts."
