Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett and his wife, Marybeth, make separate discoveries that put the Pickett family in a pair of killers’ crosshairs in this thrilling new novel in the bestselling series.

Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+

A day before the three Pickett girls come home for Thanksgiving, Joe is called out for a moose-poaching incident that turns out to be something much more sinister: a local fishing guide has been brutally tortured and murdered.  At the same time, Marybeth opens an unmarked package at the library where she works and finds a photo album that belonged to an infamous Nazi official. Who left it there? And why?

She learns that during World War II, several Wyoming soldiers were in the group that fought to Hitler’s Eagles Nest retreat in the Alps—and one of them took the Fuhrer’s personal photo album. Did another take this one and keep it all these years?  When a close neighbor is murdered, Joe and Marybeth face new questions: Who is after the book? And how will they solve its mystery before someone hurts them…or their girls? 

Meanwhile, Nate Romanowski is on the hunt for the man who stole his falcons and attacked his wife. Using a network of fellow falconers, Nate tracks the man from one city to another. Even as he grasps the true threat his quarry presents, Nate swoops in for the kill—and a stunning final showdown.
"Box’s most ambitious, sprawling, intricately plotted novel yet…a brilliant exercise in form and function."
Providence Journal

"Box expertly maneuvers readers through two entirely different stories in this twenty-second entry in the immensely popular series."
—Booklist

"Box is among the finest and most literate authors of modern thrillers. His western lore is authentic, his characters are memorable, and his plots keep you turning pages way past your sleepless bedtime."
Bookreporter

"Nothing is easy to guess but the complex answers are satisfying in Shadows Reel, this spell-binding new addition to the Joe Pickett series."
—Reviewing the Evidence

"Box’s tempo and plot development are amongst the best I’ve ever read."
—Criminal Element
