"Another thrilling read by C.J. Box. While I prefer stories centered on Joe Pickett and his family, this one was focused on Joe's mysterious friend Nate and his mysterious background. However, the suspense was so intense (who's going to die next?) that I couldn't put the book down."

— Pamela (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

    — New York Times Book Review
  • “The struggle between loyalty and law has always been at the heart of this series…and it’s especially impressive in this superior entry.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “This is the best Box I've ever read, and I've read them all. Recommend.”

    — Library Journal
