It's an idyllic late-summer day in Saddlestring, Wyoming, and game warden Joe Pickett is fly-fishing with his two daughters when he stumbles upon the mutilated body of a moose. Whatever--or whoever--attacked the animal was ruthless: half the animal's face has been sliced away, the skin peeled back from the flesh. Shaken by the sight, Joe starts to investigate what he hopes in an isolated incident.

Days later, after the discovery of a small herd of mutilated cattle, Joe realizes this something much more terrifying than he could have imagined. Local authorities are quick to label the attacks the work of a grizzly bear, but Joe knows otherwise. The cuts on the moose and the cattle were too clean, too precise, to have been made by jagged teeth. Are the animals only practice for a killer about to move on to another, more challenging prey?" Soon afterward, Joe's worst fears are confirmed. The bodies of two men are found within hours of each other, in separate locations, their wounds eerily similar to those found on the moose and cattle. There's a vicious killer, a modern-day Jack the Ripper, on the loose in Saddlestring--and it appears his rampage is just beginning.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Trophy Hunt

"Unflinching. The answers are never easy to predict; the book keeps the reader guessing until the end. [Box's] style is down-to-earth and commercially appealing, with a Western locale that sets it apart."-The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Pickett is a particularly well-wrought, well-rounded hero, a bright, decent, committed guy...[His] dogged pursuit of the truth drives him into potentially deadly confrontations."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Superb. This has all the elements that made the first three Picketts so pleasurable: Pickett himself, a bad shot but a good man; a strong supporting cast, especially his family; an inventive plot; and Bos'x own well-reasoned grasp of the issues....Excellent."-Booklist
