Chapter Overview

Description

In late March, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett heads into the Bighorn foothills to put down an injured elk before a brutal storm hits. Instead, he stumbles onto a chilling scene: a University of Wyoming professor dead inside the industrial fans of a mysterious metal structure hidden on a billionaire’s ranch. Within hours, someone takes shots at Joe—and by morning, the body and evidence have been scrubbed away.

As the state’s governor pressures everyone to bury the incident, Joe’s friends—master falconer Nate Romanowski and Joe’s daughter Sheridan—uncover a parallel threat: a growing “Sovereign Nation” movement recruiting armed locals. With a new blizzard bearing down, Joe realizes the crypto pod, the missing professor, the extremist recruitment, and the governor’s political machine are converging on one place: Marybeth Pickett’s library, where a campaign announcement will become a trap.
