Butch Roberson was known by all as a local business owner, a hard worker, and a family man. Then he disappeared, leaving two dead bodies in his wake. Now he's known as a murderer - though Joe Pickett cannot believe someone as gentle as Butch could have the instincts of a killer. But when Joe hears the story of how Butch was bullied by the authorities, of how his longed-for retirement home was taken away from him, of how his finances were destroyed and his family torn apart - he starts to wonder if perhaps the man just cracked. It's an awful story. But is it the whole story? When Joe investigates further, he finds himself in the middle of a war he never expected and never wanted. Powerful forces want Roberson not just caught, but dead - and the same goes for anyone who stands in their way.

The book is CJ Box's usual engaging entertaining product. Easy to read. Moves along. Joe Pickert is a much more down to earth Mitch Rapp or Scott Horvath. Next time I am in Casper, I want to find Joe Pickett. He seems like a real guy.

Another outstanding book by C.J.Box!
I really enjoyed the story. His character development was really good and you hated some of them immediately! A good story line with a surprise ending. I highly recommend it.
