In Three-Inch Teeth, Joe Pickett faces a rogue grizzly and a vengeful ex-con, intertwining wildlife danger with human threats in a gripping narrative.

In Three-Inch Teeth, the latest installment of the Joe Pickett series by C.J. Box, readers are thrust into a gripping narrative that intertwines the natural and human worlds. Joe Pickett, a dedicated Wyoming game warden, finds himself facing an unprecedented crisis as a rogue grizzly bear wreaks havoc in his community. The situation escalates when the bear kills the prospective fiancé of Joe's daughter, adding a deeply personal stake to the unfolding chaos. As the wildlife threat looms, Joe must navigate the complexities of both nature and human malice.

Simultaneously, the release of Dallas Cates from prison introduces a chilling layer of tension. Cates, whom Joe helped convict, returns with a vendetta, seeking revenge against those he blames for his family's demise. With a list of targets tattooed on his skin, Cates employs the bear's rampage as a cover for his own violent plans. Joe finds himself on the killer's list, alongside several other individuals, creating a race against time to thwart Cates' deadly intentions.

Three-Inch Teeth masterfully blends suspense, action, and emotional depth, showcasing C.J. Box's talent for storytelling. As Joe Pickett battles both a relentless predator and a vengeful human, readers are left wondering whether he can protect his loved ones and himself from the encroaching dangers that threaten to tear his world apart.
