Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Barry Award winner C. J. Box delivers the 10th explosive novel in his acclaimed Joe Pickett series. In Nowhere to Run, Box's intrepid game warden has no idea he's headed into the jaws of death when he ascends a remote mountain near Baggs, Wyoming.
Ever since a world-class runner went missing two years ago, locals steer clear of the towering peak near Battle Pass. They're convinced it's haunted by the flesh-eating Wendigo of Indian lore. As Pickett rides up this slope to investigate reports of a bizarre elk poaching, even the skeptical veteran feels a strange foreboding. And when arrows from unseen stalkers strike Pickett and his steeds, the rugged outdoorsman must draw on his dwindling resources to fight off death and elude his cunning pursuers.
