VICIOUS CIRCLE

C.J. Box

The past comes back to haunt game warden Joe Pickett and his family with devastating effect in the thrilling new novel from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author. The plane circled in the dark. Joe Pickett could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber, and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. And Joe knew that he might be their next target...
The plane circled in the dark. Joe Pickett could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber, and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. And Joe knew that he might be their next target...

The Cates family had always been a bad lot. Game warden Joe Pickett had been able to strike a fierce blow against them when the life of his daughter April had been endangered, but he’d always wondered if there’d be a day of reckoning. He’s not wondering any longer. Joe knows they’re coming after him and his family now. He has his friend Nate by his side, but will that be enough this time? All he can do is prepare... and wait for them to make the first move.

C.J. Box is the author of 17 Joe Pickett novels, five stand-alone novels, and the short story collection Shots Fired. He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Barry awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38, and he has been a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist. A Wyoming native, Box has also worked on a ranch and as a small-town newspaper reporter and editor. He lives outside Cheyenne, Wyoming, with his family. His books have been translated into 27 languages.

British Commonwealth: Head of Zeus

This outing is the most suspenseful yet in this world-class series, setting a new standard for Box.

The unexpected, suspenseful turns will keep readers enthralled. Another winner for Box.

We’ve noted previously how the fully fleshed family dynamic is one of this series’ enduring strengths, and that pays dividends here as we viscerally feel Joe’s fear for his loved ones and his powerlessness to protect them. Box masterfully tightens the suspense until we’re caught in a vicious circle of our own and unable to stop reading.

One of the genre's premier authors, C.J. Box stuns once again with another gripping, lightning-quick plot that features multiple jaw-dropping moments and several tense action scenes. The competition doesn't stand a chance when Box is on top of his game, and Vicious Circleis quite possibly his best work yet. A must-read for all thriller and mystery fans.

Bracingly familiar pleasures expertly packaged...first-timers will be intrigued and fans amply rewarded.
