CJ Box is one of the country's most successful thriller authors, with a main character and setting that truly sets him apart: His key protagonist, Joe Pickett, is a game warden in Wyoming who always seems to get caught up having to deal with some unbelievable and unexpected criminal activity in the beautiful but not always hospitable mountains of the Cowboy State (sometimes called the Equality State).
CJ's new book (which I've finished already) is called "Three Inch Teeth", about the business end of a grizzly bear. It will be released in 5 days but you can pre-order here: Amazon.com: Three-Inch Teeth (A Joe Pickett Novel)
