However, a cloud of trouble threatens to spoil the milder weather - local ranch owner and matriarch Opal Scarlett has vanished under suspicious circumstances. Two of her sons, Hank and Arlen, are battling for control of their mother's multi-million-dollar empire, and their bitter fight threatens to tear the whole town apart.....
"Edgar-finalist Box (Out of Range) expertly evokes Wyoming's landscape, wildlife, people and politics." - Publishers Weekly.
"Despite an encore roster of perps and felonies that plays like a Greatest Hits list from Joe's first five adventures, Box continues to write the sharpest suspensers west of the Pecos." - Kirkus Reviews.
