When two sisters set out across a remote stretch of Montana road to visit their friend, little do they know it will be the last time anyone might ever hear from them again. The girls—and their car—simply vanish. Former police investigator Cody Hoyt has just lost his job and has fallen off the wagon after a long stretch of sobriety. Convinced by his son and his former rookie partner, Cassie Dewell, he begins the drive south to the girls' last known location. As Cody makes his way to the lonely stretch of Montana highway where they went missing, Cassie discovers that Gracie and Danielle Sullivan aren't the first girls who have disappeared in this area. This majestic landscape is the hunting ground for a killer whose viciousness is outmatched only by his intelligence. And he might not be working alone. Time is running out for Gracie and Danielle… Can Cassie overcome her doubts and lack of experience and use her innate skill? Can Cody Hoyt battle his own demons and find this killer before another victim vanishes on the highway?

C. J. Box

C. J. Box

C. J. Box is an author whose stories feel as vast and untamed as the Wyoming landscapes that shape them. Born in Casper, Wyoming, Box grew up surrounded by the rugged beauty of the American West, a setting that would later become the heartbeat of his acclaimed novels. Before picking up the pen, he led a diverse life that saw him working as a ranch hand, fishing guide, and even a small-town reporter. Each of these experiences enriched his understanding of the land and its people, fueling his ability to craft authentic, atmospheric stories rooted in both place and character.

His breakout series, centered around Joe Pickett, a game warden navigating the complex, often dangerous world of Wyoming’s wilderness, immediately captivated readers with its blend of suspense, moral dilemmas, and a strong sense of place. The series has grown over the years, with each book diving deeper into the human condition, the environmental struggles of the West, and the fight for justice in an unforgiving landscape.

C. J. Box’s writing is a unique blend of grit and nuance. His characters are often caught between the harshness of the world around them and their own moral compasses, creating suspense that feels both immediate and timeless. Themes of isolation, resilience, and the stark realities of life in the modern West are woven seamlessly into his narratives, making his books as much about the environment and society as they are about crime and mystery.

With over a dozen novels to his name, including the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, Box’s work has earned him a loyal following and critical acclaim. His novels have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into multiple languages. Notably, his novel Blue Heaven won the Edgar Award for Best Novel, cementing his place in the pantheon of contemporary crime writers. His books have also found a second life on television, where his gripping plots and unforgettable characters continue to captivate audiences.

Today, C. J. Box still calls Wyoming home, drawing inspiration from the same wilderness that shaped his early life. Whether in a quiet town or deep in the backcountry, his work remains a testament to his deep connection to the land and the people who call it home. For fans of taut, suspenseful thrillers, Box’s novels are a journey into the heart of the American West, where every shadow hides a story, and every path leads to unexpected truths.
