(There’s also a member of the Pickett family who ups in Box’s just-released Cassie Dewell novel, Treasure State.) That book, which took place just before Thanksgiving, landed Joe in the crosshairs of a dangerous killer. Most recently, Joe (along with his wife, Marybeth, and best friend Nate Romanowski) was seen earlier this year in Shadows Reel. From little girls in Open Season to the adults they are today, readers have watched Joe’s girls grow up with him, riding shotgun to some of their most defining moments.

And while all of those factors create excitement and suspense, nobody has developed a whole family of characters the way Box has with the Picketts. He’s also one of few authors who has also never hesitated to kill off big characters, keeping his fans on edge and flipping pages to see who’ll make it out of the latest book and into next year’s offering. Falling somewhere between modern-day westerns and crime thrillers, nobody has been able to capture readers’ attention like Box, who’s never afraid to throw big action and big twists into the mix. Box’s stunning debut novel that paved the way for this genre-bending franchise. Joe Pickett was first introduced almost twenty-two years ago in Open Season, C.J. But first, a little history on the series. Here we go, time to say goodbye to summer! It never really feels like fall until the next Joe Pickett book is announced, so go ahead and break out those hooded sweatshirts and sweatpants, because we finally have all the details on the forthcoming new book-the twenty-third in Box’s beloved series. Joe Pickett, America’s favorite game warden, rides back into action on February 28th, 2023 in Storm Watch, the all-new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author C.J.
