Blood trail
£9.99
It’s elk season in the Rockies, but this year one hunter is stalking a different kind of prey. When the call comes in on the radio, Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett can hardly believe his ears: game wardens have found a hunter dead at a camp in the mountains: strung up, gutted, skinned, and beheaded, as if he were the elk he’d been pursuing. A spent cartridge and a poker chip lie next to his body. Ripples of horror spread through the community, and with a possibly psychotic killer on the loose, Governor Rulon is forced to end hunting season early for the first time in state history, outraging hunters and potentially crippling the state’s income from the loss of hunting licence revenue. But when the brutal murders eerily coincide with the arrival of radical anti-hunting activist Klamath Moore, Pickett knows the Governor’s ruling is the least of his worries.

Description
It’s elk season in the Rockies, but this year one hunter is stalking a different kind of prey. A gripping Joe Pickett story from C.J. Box, whose novels have been adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.
Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett takes the call when a hunter is found dead in the mountains. But this was no accident: the man was strung up, gutted, skinned and beheaded, as if he were the elk he’d been pursuing.
With a killer on the loose and the public horrified, Governor Rulon is forced to end hunting season early for the first time in state history, losing Wyoming lucrative revenue and infuriating hunters. That’s the least of Joe’s worries, for soon another murder victim is discovered.
Are the killings the work of a deranged anti-hunting activist, or of a lone psychopath with a personal vendetta? With few clues to go on and tension rising, Joe must hunt down the murderer before they strike again.
