CJ Box: Battle Mountain, Penguin USa, 9780593851081, paperback, 

Started reading " Battle Mountain" before the 2025 endee and finished first day 2026. 

Picking up where the previous novel finished,  leaving Joe Pickett's neighbour Nate Romanoski's world in shreds due to the assault of their mutual enemy Axel Soledad, Battle Mountain sees Nate teaming up with another falconer Geronimo, to avenge his wife's death with Joe unaware of what is going on. True to form Joe Pickett novel, lots of action, a western of sorts but not too violent, escape reading where wrongs are rectified by a bunch of good guys. . If it were only that easy.
