Free Fire

In C. J. Box's gripping thriller "Free Fire," Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is thrust into the most unsettling investigation of his career following a horrific mass killing within Yellowstone National Park. Attorney Clay McCann openly confesses to slaughtering four campers in a remote, little-known section of Yellowstone—a peculiar area designated as a 'free-fire zone' where, due to a jurisdictional loophole, a person can literally commit murder without fear of prosecution. After McCann walks free, a bewildered and outraged public demands answers. Joe Pickett is tasked with uncovering McCann's true motive, which is rumored to be buried deep within Yellowstone's rugged, unforgiving terrain. As Joe delves deeper, he unearths a conspiracy far more dangerous and complex than simple murder, pitting him against a cunning and ruthless adversary determined to keep his secrets hidden at all costs. This taut mystery explores the chilling implications of a legal gray area and one man's relentless pursuit of justice.
