Everything about the man is a mystery... No one knows where he came from, how he made his money or what's drawn him to the isolated Black Hills of North Wyoming. His generosity has won the locals over, but are his motives above suspicion? After a string of disappearances, Joe Pickett isn't the first investigator to pursue this enigmatic millionaire, but will he be the first to leave alive? With winter's first storm closing in, Joe's about to discover there's a stone-cold killer stalking the hills – and he's not alone.

Butch Roberson was known by all as a local business owner, a hard worker, and a family man. Then he disappeared, leaving two dead bodies in his wake. Now he's known as a murderer - though Joe Pickett cannot believe someone as gentle as Butch could have the instincts of a killer. But when Joe hears the story of how Butch was bullied by the authorities, of how his longed-for retirement home was taken away from him, of how his finances were destroyed and his family torn apart – he starts to wonder if perhaps the man just cracked. It's an awful story. But is it the whole story? When Joe investigates further, he finds himself in the middle of a war he never expected and never wanted. Powerful forces want Roberson not just caught, but dead – and the same goes for anyone who stands in their way.

Butch Roberson was known by all as a local business owner, a hard worker, and a family man. Then he disappeared, leaving two dead bodies in his wake. Now he''s known as a murderer – though Joe Pickett cannot believe someone as gentle as Butch could have the instincts of a killer. But perhaps the man just cracked. When Joe investigates further, he finds himself in the middle of a war he never expected and never wanted. Powerful forces want Roberson not just caught, but dead – and the same goes for anyone who stands in their way.

Everything about the man is a mystery... No one knows where he came from, how he made his money or what''s drawn him to the isolated Black Hills of North Wyoming. His generosity has won the locals over, but are his motives above suspicion? After a string of disappearances, Joe Pickett isn''t the first investigator to pursue this enigmatic millionaire, but will he be the first to leave alive? With winter''s first storm closing in, Joe''s about to discover there''s a stone-cold killer stalking the hills – and he''s not alone.

Blood is always thicker than water. Joe Pickett has good reason to dislike Dallas Cates. His eighteen-year-old foster daughter, April, has just run off with him. Then comes even worse news: April has been found barely alive in a ditch along the highway, and the doctors don''t know if she''ll recover. Of course, Cates denies having anything to do with it but Joe knows in his gut who''s responsible. The problem is there''s no proof. Joe''s going to find out the truth, if it kills him. And, as he confronts the ruthless Cates clan, it just might.

A dramatic short story of justice both old and new from the New York Times-bestselling author of BREAKING POINT and THE HIGHWAY. The West is not the way it''s portrayed in the movies, but when a man from the East brings trouble for Nate Romanowski and his friend Joe Pickett, a little frontier-style justice may be just what''s called for. An exciting new addition to the series that combines harrowing adrenaline rushes with complex morality, humour, and a landscape described so vibrantly it seems to have a life all its own.

There''s no hiding off the grid. Joe Pickett''s old friend Nate Romanowski is off the grid, lying low while the FBI search for him. But they''re not the only ones looking. Nate finds himself confronted by agents who need his help assessing a potential terror threat in Wyoming''s Red Desert – in return they''ll make Nate''s criminal record disappear. Nate knows they can''t be trusted – but with his liberty at stake, he has to comply... for now. Meanwhile, Joe''s heading south, under orders from State Governor Rulon to investigate a rash of crimes and an uptick in secretive federal activity along Interstate 80... As they pursue their quarries, both men will be drawn deep into the Red Desert, 9,000 square miles of bleak, punishing terrain, home to a secret that could take them both down. What people are saying about OFF THE GRID: ''Off The Grid is one hell of a book'' ''After a long series of excellent books, the characters still feel fresh'' ''Keeps you on the edge of your seat. As usual, once you start you can''t stop!'' ''C J Box can''t write them quick enough, I loved it''

One man hell-bent on avenging his family, the other dead-set on protecting his... Joe Pickett always knew there''d be a day of reckoning. And now that day has come. Two years ago, his daughter was beaten and dumped by the side of a country road. Joe''s determination to avenge her forced him into a catastrophic confrontation with the Cates clan that left three of their number dead and put the two survivors behind bars. Now the youngest son, Dallas, is out of prison and back in town. Joe knows exactly why he''s returned, but all he can do is wait for Dallas to make the first move...
