  Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett finds a local fishing guide tortured and burned, while Joe's wife, Marybeth, discovers an unmarked package at her library containing a photo album once owned by a Nazi official. A connection between the two events is made, but only after the entire Pickett clan, home for Thanksgiving, is placed in danger, and one of their neighbors is murdered. Who would want that album so badly? What is still stirring in the ashes of WWII? Meanwhile, Joe's friend, Nate Romanowski, has gone off in a black rage to apprehend Axel Soledad, who stole Nate's falcons at the conclusion of Dark Sky (2021). With the help of Geronimo Jones, a fellow falconer, Nate looks for Soledad in a Denver besieged by militant antifa adherents. Together, the pair follows a bloody trail to Portland and one last shoot-out. Box expertly maneuvers readers through two entirely different stories in this twenty-second entry in the immensely popular series. Fans can look forward to an upcoming Joe Pickett television series from Paramount Studios/Spectrum Originals. Copyright 2021 Booklist Reviews.
