SummaryA thrilling tale of suspense, vengeance, and murder,
featuring Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett. Compelling and
suspenseful, In Plain Sight is a crackling novel from one of
today's best mystery writers.
J. W. Keeley is a man with a score to settle. He blames one
man for the death of his brother: Joe Pickett. And now J. W.
is going to make him suffer. Spring has finally come to
Saddlestring, Wyoming, and game warden Joe Pickett is
relieved the long, harsh winter is finally over. However, a
cloud of trouble threatens to spoil the milder
weather—local ranch owner and matriarch Opal Scarlett
has vanished under suspicious circumstances. Two of her
sons, Hank and Arlen, are battling for control of their
mother's multi-million-dollar empire, and their bitter fight
threatens to tear the whole town apart.
Everyone is so caught up in the brothers' battle that they
seem to have forgotten that Opal is still missing. Joe is
convinced, though, that one of the brothers killed their mother.
Determined to uncover the truth, he is attacked and nearly
beaten to death by Hank Scarlett's new right-hand man on the
ranch—a recently arrived stranger who looks eerily
familiar.
A series of threatening messages and attempts to sabotage
Joe's career follow. At first, he thinks the attacks are
connected with his investigation of Opal's disappearance,
but he soon learns that someone else is after
him—someone with a very personal grudge who wants to
make Joe pay . . . and pay dearly.
