Joe is called to the scene when an exploding cow kills a famous ecoterrorist, Stewie Woods, and his bride of three days, who were peacefully spiking trees. A visit to the cow's pugnacious owner leaves Joe defensive, angry, and curious: Why doesn't the rancher ask any questions about the bizarre accident that happened on his land? Then Joe's wife, Marybeth, begins receiving phone calls from her high-school boyfriend&#151;-the peculiarly healthy-sounding Stewie Woods. Stewie may or may not be alive, but his old pal Hayden Powell and other environmental activists are all turning up deceased in strange circumstances. As the body count climbs, Joe tries to sort out the bad guys, the good guys, and the truly dead guys in this sometimes funny, sometimes angry sequel to Box's award-winning first novel, <I>Open Season</I>. Box depicts the spare beauty and cussed individualism of the intermountain West with the sure hand of a seasoned writer. <I>--Barrie Trinkle</I> 236499 2002 Savage Run (Joe Pickett #2) total:219|5:40|4:107|3:66|2:6|1:0| 219 838 304 35 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 08:20:18 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 08:27:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Apr 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 13:23:42 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 11:52:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jul 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 21:55:11 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 21:59:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jul 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 18:00:03 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 18:47:57 -0700 2008
