Game Warden Joe Pickett returns in a twisting, action-packed tale of greed, power and murder. Attempting to enjoy his mother-in-law's wedding to a local big-shot rancher, he receives some disturbing news: Will Jensen, a fellow Wyoming game warden and good friend, has killed himself. And Joe's been picked to run Jensen's Teton district. Jackson, Wyoming, is a far cry from Joe's hometown of Saddlestring and he quickly finds himself in over his head in his new job. Yet despite the pressures of his new job and his growing attraction to a married woman, Joe begins to question the circumstances of his friend's suicide and becomes obsessed with finding the reason why. Meanwhile back at home in Saddlestring, Joe's wife, Marybeth, struggling to hold her family together in her husbands absence receives a series of threatening phone calls. There are mysteries to be solved and dangers averted before the truth about Will's death finally emerges.
