Blood trail

Summary: It s elk season in the Rockies, but this year a different kind of hunter is stalking a different kind of prey. When the call comes in on the radio, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett can hardly believe what he hears. Wardens have found a hunter dead strung up, and gutted as if he were the elk he d been pursuing. A spent cartridge and a poker chip lie next to his body. Ripples of horror spread through the community, and with the possibility of a psychotic killer on the loose, the governor ends hunting season early for the first time in the state s history. Is the killer a deranged antihunting activist? A lone psychopath with a personal vendetta? Game Warden Joe Picket is the man who will have to decipher the clues before more bodies and poker chips turn up.
