Publisher's Summary:
The Edgar Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author delivers a thriller about a troubled cop trying to save his son from a killer in Yellowstone.
Cody Hoyt, while a brilliant cop, is an alcoholic struggling with two months of sobriety when his mentor and AA sponsor Hank Winters is found burned to death in a remote mountain cabin. At first, it looks like the suicide of a man whos fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that. Sober for 14 years, Hank took pride in his hard-won sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing to talk Cody off a ledge. When Cody takes a closer look at the scene of his friends death, it becomes apparent that foul play is at hand. After years of bad behavior with his department, hes in no position to be investigating a homicide, but this man was a friend and Codys determined to find his killer.
When clues found at the scene link the murderer to an outfitter leading tourists on a multi-day wilderness horseback trip into the remote corners of Yellowstone National Parka pack trip that includes his son JustinCody is desperate to get on their trail and stop the killer before the group heads into the wild. Among the tourists is 14-year-old Gracie Sullivan, an awkward but intelligent loner who begins to suspect that someone in their party is dangerous. In a fatal cat-and-mouse game, where it becomes apparent the murderer is somehow aware of Codys every move, Cody treks into the wilderness to stop a killer hell bent on ruining the only thing in his life he cares about.
Critic Reviews:
Box, a best-selling mystery writer and Wyoming native, crafts a taut tale, but its his details about the untamed flora and fauna two-legged as well as four that inhabit the wildness out West that hooks you. (USA Today)
Narrator Holter Grahams renditions of the books characters are effective and distinct and his portrayal of Bull Mitchell, the gruff but lovable retired trail guide, is particularly memorableGrahams crisp and steady narration makes for a fun ride. (Publishers Weekly)
Holter Grahams crisp, clean narration reliably differentiates Codys cigarette-stained gruffness from the raised Canadian accents of the upper Midwest locals and admirably captures the regionalisms of other characters. (Library Journal, starred review)
