From Booklist Box’s last Joe Pickett novel, Breaking Point (2013), left the reader wondering where the story could possibly go next, with Joe having quit his job in disgust at the government. Perhaps Box wondered the same thing: at any rate, the Wyoming game warden has his old job back and is once again on special assignment for Governor Rulon. A mysterious, moneyed landowner is buying up the northeast corner of the state, possibly engaged in murder for hire—and Nate Romanowski, Joe’s enigmatic best friend, just might be involved. After the supercharged fury of the last book, this marks a welcome return to the thing Box does best: putting family man Joe in a dicey situation where, despite his orders to merely observe, his own moral code means he can’t help but light the fuse and see where it leads. Being in unfamiliar territory is familiar territory for Pickett, and corrupt-town scenarios are as old as the hills, but Box uses the ploys for maximum suspense, and readers won’t mind one bit. It’s good to see Pickett writing tickets again.HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Box is a brand name, and readers would find his books even if they weren’t heralded by a national tour and promotional blitz—which, of course, this one is. --Keir Graff
Review "Another superlative outing. Grade A."—The Cleveland Plain Dealer"A blistering page-turner."—The Arizona Republic“Vivid…an accessible, quick, and fun read.”—The Associated Press“With each book, Box just gets better. Nonstop action, a twisty plot, and great characters make his latest a must-read.”—Library Journal“Exhilarating…Canny Joe uses his wits, taking time to assess the literal and figurative lay of the land.”—Publishers Weekly

The first two words of this novel made me very happy - Nate Romanowski. Nate is my favorite character in the Pickett series besides Joe himself. For those who haven't read any of the books, Joe Pickett is a game warden out of Saddlestring, Wyoming. He is married to Marybeth and has two lovely children, Lucy and Sheridan, and ward, April, all living in a small cabin in the Bighorn Mountains. Nate is the anthesis of Joe, a loner, living in the woods with his falcons. He is a large, rugged, pony-tailed man capable of violence on either side of the law. Joe and Nate are unlikely best friends, but both have literally saved each others lives in past editions of the series.Joe is summoned to Cheyenne by Wyoming Governor Rulon, who has taken a liking to Joe and considers him his unofficial "range rider". The Governor sends Joe on a mission to investigate an extremely wealthy landowner in the Black Hills named Wolfgang Templeton.. Joe quickly finds out that Templeton literally owns the county., land, people and the law. The adventure continues with Joe's unique, somewhat bumbling manner. Sort of a mixture of Inspector Clouseau and John Wayne. Joe's daughters, Lucy and Sheridan, offer intriguing side stories to the novel.This is not my usual reading genre, but I find CJ Box such a good storyteller with a fluid writing style, making it just a joy to read. His characters are so vividly realistic and the Wyoming setting gives you that western, cowboy feeling.Although this is a standalone novel and can be read as such, there is a lot of history with Joe Pickett and his cast of characters, which makes you feel very comfortable with this latest installment. Highly recommended.

Box's Joe Pickett books. It had a dark side to it in a side storyline involving his eldest daughter. It seemed a little strange at first because I didn't have any idea where the side story was going and it threw me for a loop when I read the conclusion of it. Talk about a twist!!The main storyline of Joe going to another game warden's district for Governor Rulon gives a couple of surprises. Nice writing by Mr. Box, again, and the conclusion will keep you dangling. As I stated above, now I have to wait for the next book to come out and I hope it is soon. Mr. Box has a way of drawing you into his storylines and Stone Cold is no different.If you are new to reading C. J. Box and his Joe Pickett series, I highly suggest you read the whole series. A great reading experience is waiting for you.

I have read all of this series and all of his stand-alone books too. This book is definitely a series book, NOT a stand-alone. You could enjoy it if you've not read the other Joe Pickett offerings but why cheat yourself out of the pleasure of reading the others?"Stone Cold" has all the best qualities that have made me love his other books - non-stop action, a protagonist that is easy to identify with, a gorgeous setting in my beloved Wyoming.Joe Pickett is still working as a Wyoming game warden but also is troubleshooting for the Governor. He goes into the Black Hill country of Wyoming in this tale, trying to find out the worst about a wealthy landowner/philanthropist. And his troubles start almost immediately.As always, Joe tries to juggle work with his home life and two of his daughters have side tales of their own in the book.If you enjoy suspense, mysteries, books about Wyoming, or just an exciting well-written story, you won't go wrong with this or any of author Box's books.
