It is thanks to Corvus, here in the UK, that we are now getting the chance to catch up with Mr. The UK is some while behind the US as they've had the opportunity to read CJ Box's books since around 2002. This write-up was taken from here - as it seemed a more comprehensive reflection of what the book is about. The tension mounts as Washington bureaucrats arrive to evict the Sovereign Citizens, by force if necessary, Joe becomes convinced that wrong man has been arrested for the murder, his foster daughter is kidnapped by her mother, and a killer blizzard is bearing down on the forest. Among them is the mother of Joe Pickett's youngest girl, a foster child abandoned three years ago. At the same time, a group of Waco and Ruby Ridge survivors calling themselves the Sovereign Citizens set up a permanent camp in the National Forest. Box, Joe finds a herd of elk slaughtered, and when he finds the perpetrator of that crime, it turns out to be the district supervisor of the National Forest, who is then found murdered. In Winterkill, Joe Pickett is a game warden in a remote part of Wyoming, but more importantly, he's a family man and home is where he'd rather be than anywhere else.
