This is the 4th in the Joe Pickett series by C.J. Box. I have been reading these in order and I continue to find this to be one of the better mystery/thriller series out there. In this book, Pickett gets involved in some murders related to cattle and other animal mutilations. He tries to find out who or what is doing the mutilations -- could it be aliens, deranged people, or birds as the FBI concluded in a similar series of mutilations in the 1970s? And how are the mutilations related to some land deals and mineral rights of land on the market? And why were two people killed in similar ways as the animal mutilations? Pickett finds his way through this morass but in the end leaves some unanswered questions. I would recommend this, along with the other books I have read in this series, although I didn't find this one quite as compelling as the first three books.
