New on our shelves and thanks to the Tocker Foundation we have the latest in bestselling author C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett series with “Battle Mountain.”
This is from the New York Journal of Books: “A fastpaced, engaging page-turner…Fans of C.J Box and Joe Pickett will not be disappointed with this latest addition to the series, and readers who meet them for the first time in these pages are likely to be hooked by the Wyoming game warden’s adventures like a trout in the Twelve Sleep River.”
The campaign of destruction that Axel Soledad and Dallas Cates wreaked on Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett left both men in tatters, especially Nate, who lost almost everything. Wondering if the civilized life left him vulnerable to attack, Nate dropped off the grid with his falcons in tow to prepare for vengeance.
When Joe gets a call from the governor asking for help finding his son-inlaw, who has gone missing in the Sierra Madre mountain range, he enlists the help of a local, a rookie gamewardennamedSusan Kany.
As Nate and fellow falconer Geronimo Jones circle closer to their prey, Joe and Susan follow the nearly cold trail to Warm Springs. Little do Nate and Joe know that their separate journeys are about to converge . . . at Battle Mountain.
From New York Times bestselling author James Patterson and Emily Raymond
They came from the woods, but where will they run?
Two children dressed in rags are discovered ransacking a grocery store on the edge of town. They bare their teeth. They growl. They claim to have been raised by wolves.
Where did these children come from? Who are their parents? And can they learn to live when they have only ever been taught to survive?
Check it out at the library.
