Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

WONDERFUL AUTHOR, AND SUPERB STORY LINE
THIS STORY IS A SLOW START, BUT PICKS UP AS WE GO. A FEW TWISTS AND TURNS THAT REALLY MADE THE STORY UNUSUAL AND INFORMATIVE. THIS WAS MY FIRST CHINA BAYLES MYSTERY, AND I CAME AWAY VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS CHARACTER.
SUSAN WITTIG ALBERT IS A VERY TALENTED AUTHOR, AND SHE HAS SO MANY BOOKS AVAILABLE TO US ON AUDIBLE. I CAN SEE THE WINTER WILL BE FULL OF MANY WELL WRITTEN COZY MYSTERY'S. CAT'S CLAW IS A SUPERB STORY AND WELL WORTH THE CREDIT.
