Free Fire

Product Description

Joe Pickett recently fired from his job as a Wyoming game warden is working on his father-in-law's ranch when he receives a visit from the governor. Governor Rulon
- a devious but down-home politico
- has a special request one Joe knows he can't refuse. For weeks the headlines have been abuzz with the story of Clay Mc Cann a lawyer who slaughtered four campers in a far-off corner of Yellowstone. After the murders Mc Cann immediately turned himself in at the nearest ranger station. Seemed like a slam-dunk case for law enforcement
- except that the crimes were committed in a thin sliver of land with zero residents & overlapping jurisdiction the so-called free-fire zone. Mc Cann has taken advantage of an obscure loophole in the law: neither the state nor the federal government can try him for his crime. The worst mass murderer in Wyoming history walks out of jail a free man. Governor Rulon sensitive to the rising tide of public outrage wants his own investigation into the murders & will reinstate Joe as a game warden if he'll go to Yellowstone without portfolio A to investigate. Joe happy to get his badge back even under these circumstances agrees. It quickly becomes clear to Joe that Mc Cann is deeply involved with some illegal activity taking place in the park
- something tremendously lucrative & unusually dangerous. As Joe & his partner Nate Romanowski search for the key to the murders they discover that it may be hidden in the rugged terrain of the park itself."
