A group of tourists makes its way on horseback into the most remote parts of Yellowstone National Park. Each person has an agenda and one of them is a killer.This book follows the usual C.J. Box formula of long, slow buildup, followed by 50 to 75 pages of unrelenting, page turning suspense, violence, and mayhem. Though a good adventure, this one requires an extra large serving of "suspension of disbelief". Just sit back and enjoy it. Don't think about it too much, or you'll find yourself saying,...
I listened to this as an audio book. It is an "older" book by Box featuring Cody Hoyt, an alcoholic cop struggling with sobriety. When a friend turns up dead in a remote mountain cabin, it looks like suicide, but of course it is much more complicated. The book is narrated by Holter Graham who does an excellent job with the multiple voices and the complex emotions of the story.
C. J. Box, in an interview following the audio version of this book, talks about his love of the Montana/Wyoming/Idaho area and how important setting is for him in books he reads, as well as those he writes.And he does a fine job of bringing the Yellowstone wilderness to life for us. The terrain, the wildlife, the remoteness create an environment that becomes a character in its own right - stunning and terrifying at the same time.The plot is something of an amalgamation. It begins with that oh-s...
Cody Hoyt is your clichéd classic troubled cop on the edge. Divorced, disgraced, alcoholic, with a reputation of being a cop with great investigative instincts but lots of issues, Cody Hoyt is back home in Montana after everything blew up in Denver. These days he tries to stay sober while working as a detective in the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Department. On one rainy night, while aimlessly driving around as he does many a night, he is sent to a remote fire damaged cabin in the Big Belt M...
As a resident of Wyoming, Mr. Box always gives us a fresh scene for his books. This one is set primarily in Yellowstone National Park, and if you have ever been in that sort of country, you can almost smell the dust, sweat, vegetation and horses from his vivid descriptions.This is a very straightforward murder mystery complicated by our hero's struggle with alcoholism and the fact his own son is in grave danger.The praise for Mr. Box's work on the back cover ranges from Booklist, Kirkus, The Chi...
Cody Hoyt seemed to have a death wish! He was a cop who was great at his job, but was an alcoholic, recently divorced, with a son, Justin, who was the best thing that had ever happened to him. His ex-wife Jenny, was a wonderful person, and he still loved her dearly, but his life had spiralled out of control…his young life was against him, with a drunk for a father, mother and uncle! When Cody’s good friend and mentor, Hank Winters, was found burned to death in his little cabin, the signs all sai...
