Story
When Earl Alden is found dead, dangling from a wind turbine, it's his wife, Missy, who is arrested. Unfortunately for Joe Pickett, Missy is his mother-in- law, a woman he dislikes heartily, and now he doesn't know what to do-especially when the early signs point to her being guilty as sin. But then things happen to make Joe wonder: Is Earl's death what it appears to be? Is Missy being set up? He has the county DA and sheriff on one side, his wife on the other, his estranged friend Nate on a lethal mission of his own, and some powerful interests breathing down his neck.

Publisher's Summary
Joe Pickett's in his last week as the temporary game warden in the town of Baggs, Wyoming, but there have been strange things going on in the mountains, and his conscience won't let him leave without checking them out: reports of camps looted, tents slashed, elk butchered. And then there's the runner who simply vanished one day.
Joe doesn't mind admitting that the farther he rides, the more he wishes he could just turn around and go home. And he is right to be concerned. Because what awaits him is like nothing he's ever dealt with, like something out of an old story, except this is all too real and too deadly. When he'd first saddled up, he'd thought of this as his last patrol. What he hadn't known was just how accurate that thought might turn out to be.

Joe and Nate's excellent adventure.
This, IMHO, is the best book in the Joe Pickett series. The two brief blurbs in the listing say it best. There is a whole lot of plot, as usual, and the standard list of characters. However, the interweaving plots concern some very high level government corruption, which permeates down to the very local level. The fine details I will leave to you, but the nexus of the corruption concerns a large piece of Upper Peninsula Michigan real estate, a Michigan senator's devious plans to combine federal interests with his own venal motives, and the property owners whose land is being taken away by fiat because the federal government wants it. Two brothers of the fight over this land survive and go west, settling in the mountains in the north of Wyoming. Some local communities have been victimized by some bad behavior, and the governor recruits Joe to go up to the mountains to find these two guys, who have become recluses. There is also a young woman involved. Plot OD.
The search for these two guys, who call themselves the Grimm Brothers (not the Brothers Grimm), becomes so exciting and dangerous that you are glued to every chapter of it. One thing you notice about the book is that Nate opens up about himself and his beliefs in a way that is much more satisfying than the skeletal portrait of him that has appeared in prior books. The relationship between the two men also becomes richer, as they carry out this very dangerous assignment. MaryBeth also plays a part as researcher for the men, as well as mother of the fast-growing trio of daughters. I humbly believe that MaryBeth could serve as the protagonist of one of these books, not to diminish Joe's importance.
The ending of the book, which I certainly will not spoil for you, is genuinely moving. Joe and Nate will live, of course, but the line between the "good guys" and the "bad guys" has never been so hazy. Dave Farkas appears as a figure of fun, as usual, a liar of epic proportions. The Grimm Brothers prove to be masters of the mountain territory that they inhabit, and they set cunning traps for Joe and Nate, and anyone else who might have the nerve to think that he or she can catch the brothers. Another group is also tracking them, having come from Michigan and likely having been funded by the ultra-rich senator.
David Chandler does his usual great job of voicing these stories; he is Joe as much as George Guidall is Walt Longmire. By the time you put this book down your admiration for CJ Box will have increased, as if you weren't already an admirer. I recommend this book whole-heartedly. It's a winner.

JP needs to go to Absaroka County with Longmire!
I love Joe Pickett stories but I think the protagonist sheriff line needs to fade away. First it was Bud Barnam and now its McLanahan. There is always a real bad guy in these books why does the sheriff always have to be adversarial? It would be nice for Joe and family to move to Absaroka County (yes I know its fictional) and have Walt Longmire as Sheriff. Nate would get along great with Henry. I can picture Mary Beth and Vic chatting over lunch haha.

One of Box's Best
If you could sum up Nowhere to Run in three words, what would they be?
Exciting. Action. Intrigue.
What about David Chandler’s performance did you like?
Chandler's performance of Box's books is outstanding. Since he has done the whole Joe Pickett series, he is 'Joe Pickett' and the other characters. Well done on this one, as usual.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The hunters, become... The hunted.

enjoyable rural mystery thriller
This is part of the Joe Picket series, following the game warden in Wyoming. The start of this was edge-of-your-seat intensity, as Joe fights for his life to escape two crazy, rural brothers. Much of the rest of the novel focuses on who are those brothers, and why are they causing trouble. Is there a connection to a jogger who had disappeared in that area of the mountains? This part was less engaging but I still liked it. I enjoyed this novel mostly because I really like the Joe Picket character. He is a decent, believable character who does what he loves in spite of the tiny wages it pays for he and his wife to raise their girls. I like the rural setting as well. This is a rare time I listened to a second in a series, and will probably try another in the series at some point.
