Publisher's summary

The inspiration for the new ABC series Big Sky. Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel, the New York Times best-selling author of Back of Beyond and Breaking Point and the creator of the Joe Pickett series is back.

"If CJ Box isn't already on your list, put him there." (USA Today)

When two sisters set out across a remote stretch of Montana road to visit their friend, little do they know it will be the last time anyone might ever hear from them again. The girls - and their car - simply vanish. Former police investigator Cody Hoyt has just lost his job and has fallen off the wagon after a long stretch of sobriety. Convinced by his son and his former rookie partner, Cassie Dewell, he begins the drive south to the girls' last known location.

As Cody makes his way to the lonely stretch of Montana highway where they went missing, Cassie discovers that Gracie and Danielle Sullivan aren't the first girls who have disappeared in this area. This majestic landscape is the hunting ground for a killer whose viciousness is outmatched only by his intelligence. And he might not be working alone.

Time is running out for Gracie and Danielle...Can Cassie overcome her doubts and lack of experience and use her innate skill? Can Cody Hoyt battle his own demons and find this killer before another victim vanishes on the highway?

Very surprising

I have to admit, that there were twists I didn't see coming like most thrillers.

Real Life Horror.

This is wonderfully written, truly frightening fiction with complex characters and fascinating story lines. well worth the read a/o listen even if you are watching the TV series Big Sky.

Too scary

This is a thriller/mystery story that keeps you wondering what will happen next. I personally thought it was a bit on the gruesome side so would not recommend it to a sensitive individual. The ending makes you feel that you need to buy another book to see if the real killer will ever get caught.

Wow, I listened to this book in 3 days. I kept going for walks and cleaning the house so I found listen to it. Even listened while I did the rising machine and elliptical. It was mesmerizing. A true thriller.

The Lizard King lives

Great story. We love CJ Box. Sorry to see Cody die. We thought he was probably just wounded and they would find him in bad shape but alive.

Too dark- but riveting

The subject matter was way too dark and very difficult to listen to. That said, it was very riveting story and well read.
