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.

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 psychopath with a personal vendetta? With tensions rising, Joe must hunt down the murderer before they strike again.Reviews for Blood Trail''Writing beautifully about the Mountain West and its people.''
