Paradise Valley

Description

PARADISE VALLEY... THE END OF THE ROAD. For three years, Chief Investigator Cassandra 'Cassie' Dewell has been hunting the Lizard King. Twice she has come close to taking him, but this time she surely has him. The trap is set and baited. What happens next will cost three policemen their lives and Cassie her job. But she can't give up the hunt - she refuses to believe the charred body they pull from the flames is the Lizard King's. Tracking two missing fourteen-year-old boys, Cassie - alone - takes to the road. A road from which, quite possibly, there is no return. A road that ends in Paradise Valley.

'The gripping plot soon makes it difficult to take a break for reasons other than a house fire or other major emergency, and the final pages produce a satisying conclusion. It's great stuff' Crime Review. 'After a heart-in-mouth opening sequence, you're along for the ride across North Dakota and Montana and into the heart of an American nightmare. Breathtakingly good' The Sunday Times Crime Club Star Pick. 'Box is not only an exemplary writer of crime novels; he is also a rancher, hunter and guide to the outback. As this might suggest, his work sports a vibrant response to countryside and nature' Financial Times.
