OFF THE GRID

C.J. Box

New York Times–bestselling author C. J. Box returns with a suspenseful new Joe Pickett novel.
Nate Romanowski is off the grid, recuperating from wounds and trying to deal with past crimes, when he is suddenly surrounded by a small team of elite professional special operators. They’re not there to threaten him, but to make a deal. They need help destroying a domestic terror cell in Wyoming’s Red Desert, and in return they’ll make Nate’s criminal record disappear.

But they are not what they seem, as Nate’s friend Joe Pickett discovers. They have a much different plan in mind, and it just may be something that takes them all down—including Nate and Joe.

C. J. Box is the author of sixteen Joe Pickett novels, five stand-alones, and the story collection Shots Fired. He has won the Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Barry Awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38, and has been an Edgar Award and Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist, all for the 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, and lives outside Cheyenne with his family. His books have been translated into twenty-seven languages.

Picking up a new C.J. Box thriller is like spending quality time with family you love and have missed…It's a rare thriller series that has characters grow and change without becoming stale.

Readers will race to keep up with the action.

…this is a breakneck story that Pickett fans will want to read in one sitting.

Even though you just know Box isn't going to put an end to his highly successful franchise by blowing his lead characters to kingdom come, you can't help turning the pages and holding your breath until you find out where this scary, all-too- plausible caravan is heading.

OFF THE GRID debuts at #1 on the March 27 New York Times Hardcover Fiction Bestseller List! Plus #3 on the Ebook Fiction List, and #2 on the Combined Print & Ebook Fiction List! This is the 16th novel in the bestselling and widely acclaimed Joe Pickett series. And it’s the first time a book in the series has hit #1!

A master at managing multiple plot lines, Box brings them all together for a nerve-wracking climax that rivals The Wild Bunch for utter havoc. With this exceptional entry, Box solidifies his place at the upper level of the crime fiction pantheon.
