“It’s another blinder” – Wolf Pack by CJ Box

"Drones buzzing cattle and poachers setting traps doesn’t sound too gripping you might say, but that is just the set-up. There is also a team of hired killers (the eponymous Wolf Pack), thought by those who know of them to be a legend, busy tracking down FBI informants spilling the beans about the Sinaloa Cartel and – didn’t you just know it? – their course is set for the person Joe is busy trying to track down (and here is one of the many reasons Box is so damn good: Joe is busy investigating a downright unpleasant person who, at some point, you know he’s also going to have to defend…). With the Wolf Pack themselves, Box has fashioned a ruthless (and wildly compelling) brute force, dispatching people with casual disinterest and almost demonic glee at times. Plus it should be said, the inclusion of a fentanyl sub-plot (that grows out of New York) demonstrates Box is as keen on his research as Don Winslow (and twins this book with Winslow’s own The Border)."
