Publisher's summary

"Christina Delaine delivers a thrilling performance of this high-stakes hunt for a killer...Notably, Delaine's sensitive portrayal of a young man with a speech impediment adds emotional depth, while her depiction of the elusive Lizard King generates chills." — AudioFile Magazine

She almost caught him once. Now, he's back.

For three years, Investigator Cassie Dewell has been on a hunt for a serial killer known as the Lizard King whose hunting grounds are the highways and truck stops where runaways and prostitutes are most likely to vanish. Cassie almost caught him...once. Working for the Bakken County, North Dakota sheriff's department, Cassie has set what she believes is the perfect trap, and she has lured him and his truck to a depot. But the plan goes horribly wrong, and the blame falls on Cassie. Disgraced, she loses her job, and investigation into her role is put into motion.

At the same time, Kyle Westergaard, a troubled kid whom Cassie has taken under her wing, has disappeared after telling people that he's going off on a long-planned adventure. Kyle's grandmother begs Cassie to find him, and, with nothing else to do, Cassie agrees - all the while hunting the truck driver. Now Cassie is a lone wolf. And in the same way that two streams converge into a river, Kyle's disappearance may have a more sinister meaning than anyone realizes. With no allies, no support, and only her own wits to rely on, Cassie must take down a killer who is as ruthless as he is cunning. But can she do it alone, without losing her own humanity or her own life?

love it

C.J. Box is one of my all time favorite authors. I love that his books take place in the wilderness mostly with great characters and stories that keep you coming back. This one didn't disappoint, keep them coming!!

once again a great book in a series of great books

I just fall more in love with this character and her strength and resilience as each book goes along. Now I will get the last book and be saddened when this is all finished and I can't read about Cassie anymore!!! CJ Box I just found out about your book series by watching the show Big Sky and now I am a huge fan!! I try to get everyone I know hooked on this series bc it's far better than the show (& the show is pretty good, so that says a lot!)...

Edge of your seat

Great action and plot. A bit predictable, but a fun (fun isn’t really the right word) listen.

Great story

Very suspenseful. Another good from CJ Box. Cassy Dewell is becoming a favorite for me

CJ Box is fantastic!

I have listened to every single book written by him...this book was my all time favorite! Usually I limit listening to when I am walking. I listened to Paradise Valley when cooking, driving and anything else I did...Kyle & Cassie are fantastic characters!

Awesome

As always CJ Box has written an exciting mystery. ,filled with surprise twists and turns. He goes about the evil things very well, but keeps the good shown in his protagonist Cassie Dual and some of the law enforcement that assist her in tracking down killer's. The evil one Lizard King has been around too long, in his previous books, so I'm glad this is the last of him. The narration by Christina Delaine was excellent, she does male and female interpretations beautifully. I look forward to hear more of her narration. Looking forward to more CJ Boxes's novels. I'm a fan. Janice

Another great western novel from Box

Cassie gets her man literally where will she go from here Bozeman North Carolina only time will tell

Paradise Valley wonderful story

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. Both the story and narration held my interest throughout. I disagree with the critical reviews of the narrator. I found her narration and voices enjoyable.
