Review:

Praise for Below Zero

“Murder well done...[A] sturdy series with Joe Pickett, a stand-up Wyoming game warden and all-around good guy.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Pickett [is] one of the most appealing men in popular fiction, a laid-back, good-natured guy until he's riled, and then you'd better look out.”—Chicago Tribune

“Wyoming's immense spaces make a fitting background for another tense thriller, with the iconic Devils Tower holding court over a frantic chase through the tangled roads of the Black Hills. Box's series is the gold standard in the Western mystery subgenre.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Tightly written...Keeps the reader off balance with a series of plot twists as startling as anything on TV's 24.”—Associated Press
