From the author's website: "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."
Page 5, "Forlorn was a word he had come to like, in recent months. It was a word that sounded like what it described." This is descriptive of some of Will's final thoughts.
Joe has more than enough to do as elk season is about to begin and a busy time for the warden, checking hunters licenses, guides, etc. But he has to leave for Jackson and give his duties over to another.
A 4 **** read, good writing, moves along, lots of characters and many sub plots happening.,
