When game warden Joe Pickett is called out to a poaching incident just before Thanksgiving, it turns out to be far more sinister: a local man has been brutally tortured and murdered.

Meanwhile, Joe's wife Marybeth receives a sinister package at work: the photo album of an infamous Nazi. A Wyoming soldier took Hitler's personal photo album during the dying days of World War II. But who took the second book – and why reveal it now?

When a second murder occurs, Joe and Marybeth face a race against time: how will they solve the mystery before someone targets them... or their girls?

Meanwhile Joe's associate, falconer Nate Romanowski, hunts the man who attacked his wife. Nate soon swoops in for the kill – and a stunning final showdown.
