The eleventh Joe Pickett crime thriller by award-winning author C.J. Box. Joe Pickett must help his mother-in-law when she is accused of murdering her wealthy husband.

A death in the family spells tragedy and trouble for Joe Pickett. A thrilling read from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series.

A body hangs from a wind turbine, a bullet hole in his chest: Earl Alden, millionaire property developer. His wife, Missy, is the prime suspect. The case seems open and shut. None of this would be a problem for Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett... if Missy wasn't his mother-in-law.

Missy claims she's innocent, and for his wife's sake, Joe would like to believe her, but all the early signs point to her being as guilty as sin.

Could the real killer still be out there somewhere? With his wife on one side and the law on the other, Joe needs to get to the truth before his family is ripped apart.
