THE VOICE OF THE AMERICAN WEST

Don’t miss C.J. Box’s latest thriller, The Crossroads, where Joe’s daughters investigate the attempted murder of their father... Available to order now.

A missing ranch matriarch. Suspicious sons. Joe must follow the trail.

When local ranch owner and matriarch Opal Scarlett vanishes under suspicious circumstances, Joe Pickett grows convinced that her family are responsible.

In her absence, two of her sons, Hank and Arlen, battle for control of their mother's multi-million-dollar empire. The whole town is so caught up in the infighting that they seem to have forgotten that Opal is still missing.

Determined to uncover the truth and prove one of the brothers murdered their mother, Joe is attacked and nearly beaten to death by a recently arrived stranger who looks eerily familiar.

At first, Joe thinks the attack is connected to his investigation, but he soon learns that someone else is after him. Someone with a very personal grudge who wants to make him pay... for everything.

A thrilling read set in the American West from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, now adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.
