BREAKING POINT

C.J. Box

A hard-working, upright local business owner suddenly disappears. He claimed to be heading into the mountains to hunt, but instead he was running. Two EPA employees had just been murdered, and all signs pointed to him as the killer.
As the manhunt organized itself, Joe Pickett heard more of the story—about the tract of land he and his wife had bought to build their retirement home on, until the EPA declared it a wetland. About the penalties they charged him when he balked, new ones piling up every day, until the family was torn apart by debt. And finally, it seems, the man just cracked. It was an awful story. But was it the whole story? The more Joe looks into it, the more he begins to wonder, and the more he finds himself in the middle of a war he never expected and never wanted.

C.J. Box is the New York Times-bestselling author of twelve previous Joe Pickett novels and three stand-alones (for St. Martin’s). He has won the Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe and Barry awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38, and he has been an Edgar Award and Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist, all for the Joe Pickett novels. He has also won the Edgar Award for best novel for his first stand-alone, Blue Heaven. A Wyoming native, Box has worked on a ranch and as a small-town newspaper reporter and editor. He lives outside Cheyenne, Wyoming, with his family.

Box tells his story in the first-rate prose his fans have come to expect… The story has everything one could ask for in a Western thriller Read more...

Excellent… Thrilling wilderness chases, chilling stories of the abuse of power, and Pickett’s indomitable frontier spirit power this explosive novel.

Like the forest fire described in the book, fans of this series will burn through the pages to discover who-dun-it and why. With each book, Joe Pickett has evolved as a complex, deep character, richly described by Box. Another must-read.
