Out of Range - Joe Pickett, Bk 5
Author: C. J. Box
Joe Pickett is attempting to enjoy -- all right, survive -- his mother-in-law's wedding to a local big-shot rancher when he receives some disturbing news: Will Jensen,a fellow Wyoming game warden and a good friend, has killed himself. And Joe's been picked to temporarily run Jensen's Teton district. — Jackson, Wyoming, is a far cry from Joe's hometown of Saddlestring -- it's the epicenter for many environmental extremists and an elite playground for the rich and powerful -- and Joe quickly finds himself in over his head. Yet despite the pressures of his new job, he can't get his friend's suicide out of his mind. By all accounts, Will had changed in the last few months, becoming violent and unpredictable.
The closer Joe comes to the truth about Will's death, the more his own life spirals out of control -- and he realizes that if he's not careful, he may end up as Jackson's next victim.

I read this one a couple of years ago. See this JE. My prior review:
Another good entry in the Joe Pickett novels by Box. In this one, Pickett is called to temporarily replace the game warden, Will Jensen, in Jackson, Wyoming, after he apparently committed suicide. Pickett travels to Jackson and is embroiled in the midst of a dispute between a developer who wants to use open range to raise animals for slaughter, the former game warden, a group of animal rights activists, and many others in the community including a blustery outfitter named Smoke Van Horn. It seems as if Pickett gets on the bad side of everyone involved including local law enforcement. He also gets involved with the wife of the developer who was having an affair with Jensen as he delves into why Jensen would have killed himself. Meanwhile, back home in Saddlestring, his wife, Marybeth is struggling to hold the family together and trying to keep out of the former sheriff's way. Nate Romanowki, the falconer and former government agent, also plays a key role back home and at the end of the novel, it appears that Nate has left town permanently. I hope this is not the case. Nate is one of the most interesting characters in the Pickett novels. Overall a strong recommendation and I will be looking forward to the next in the series.

Thanks for the great books.
When game warden Will Jensen dies, Joe Pickett is assigned to temporarily take over his district in Jackson, Wyoming. Joe is compelled to find out the circumstances surrounding Jensen death. He finds that his own life is now out of control, with feelings of his mind and body playing tricks on him. What's going on? He needs to be very careful or he may end up just like Jensen. A very good read.
Joe's friend and fellow game warden has killed himself and Joe has been picked to temporarily run his district in Jackson, Wyoming. Joe is now in an entirely different kind of district and he feels compelled to investigate his friend's suicide. After he comes closer to the truth, his own life seems to be in peril. He needs to be very careful or he might end up just like his friend. A very good read!
