Force of Nature, by C. J. Box

He never wanted to tell Joe Pickett about it, but Nate Romanowski always knew trouble was coming out of his past.  Now it's here, and it may not only be the battle of his life but of Joe's.

In 1995, Nate was in a secret Special Forces unit abroad when his commander, John Nemecek, did something terrible.  Now the high-ranking government official and cold-blooded sociopath is determined to eliminate anyone who knows about it — like Nate, who’s hidden himself away in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains.  And Nate knows exactly how Nemecek will do it — by targeting Nate's friends to draw him out.  That includes his friend, game warden Joe Pickett, and Pickett’s entire family.  The only way to fight back is outside the law.  Nate knows he can do it, but he isn't sure about his straight-arrow friend.  And all their lives could depend on it.
