A day before the three Pickett girls come home for Thanksgiving, Marybeth Pickett finds an unmarked package at the front door of the library where she works. When she opens the package she finds a photo album that belonged to an infamous Nazi official. Who left it there? And why did they leave it with her? 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 Hitler's personal photo album. Did another take this one and keep it all these years? When she finds the name of a deceased local man who was likely in the unit, Joe visits the man's son--only to find him brutally tortured and murdered. Someone is after the photo album--but why? And when a close neighbor is murdered, Joe and Marybeth face a new question: How will they figure out the book's mystery before someone hurts them--or their girls? Meanwhile, Nate Romanowski is on the hunt for a younger and more ruthless version of himself--the man who stole Nate's falcons and attacked his wife. Using a network of fellow falconers, Nate tracks the man from one city to another, learning that his target is an agitator and a financier of anarchists. Even as he grasps the true threat his quarry presents, Nate swoops in for the kill--and a stunning final showdown.

awesome submitted by leea on August 26, 2022, 12:04am Love all C.J. Box' books. This one is particularly interesting. All the characters are there, and Joe and Mary Beth make a great team. Nate and Liv add a colorful thread to the story. I think we'll see more of Sheridan in the future.

Another Entertaining Joe Pickett Book submitted by cdunlop on March 17, 2023, 12:38pm CJ Box's vivid imagination is completely unfettered in this, his 22nd installment in the Joe Pickett series. Two murders; a Nazi photo album delivered to the local library; Nate Romanowski's continuing hunt for his stolen falcons. All of these themes come together by the end of the novel. Joe's wife, Marybeth, outsleuths Sherlock Holmes, solving much of the mystery well before the author does.

As has been the case in other books in this series, Joe operates well outside of his official role as a game warden. Not only does he investigate the local crimes; he also teeters on the edge of taking the law into his own hands as he seeks to assist his friend, Nate.

Box's ongoing antipathy to left-leaning politics is again evident here, but, fortunately, it doesn't spoil the story.
