Cold Wind (Joe Pickett #11) [J0129]

2011 - HCDJ Nice clean condition. The extraordinary new Joe Pickett novel from the Edgar Award-winning author. When Earl Alden is found dead, dangling from a wind turbine, it's his wife, Missy, who is arrested. Unfortunately for Joe Pickett, Missy is his mother-in- law, a woman he dislikes heartily, and now he doesn't know what to do-especially when the early signs point to her being guilty as sin. But then things happen to make Joe wonder: Is Earl's death what it appears to be? Is Missy being set up? He has the county DA and sheriff on one side, his wife on the other, his estranged friend Nate on a lethal mission of his own, and some powerful interests breathing down his neck. Whichever way this goes . . . it's not going to be good.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Great series.","This yarn was fantastic. Actually not yarn, but a tapestry woven from CJ Box's encyclopedic knowledge of the territory, and a damned good plot. He doesn't need to preach, he craftily puts archetypes in the pivotal roles that sets the moral tone, with some healthy cynicism.","Wow, this book had so many twists and turns I could hardly keep up. I can't wait to read the next one. This series hasn't disappointed me yet. It's a good one."
