"...Hard to put down..."

5

North Idaho, as its inhabitants prefer to call it, is the rugged setting for this gripping new thriller from bestselling writer C. J. Box. In a small mountain town rapidly being re-settled by retirees, many of them ex-LAPD cops (which is why the locals call it 'Blue Heaven') two young people go missing in the forest. They had unwittingly witnessed a cold-blooded murder and fled from the scene, only to be hunted by the killers, a small group of ex-LAPD cops who have a secret to protect. The killers join the town-wide search for the children and the frightened pair find a hideout with a local rancher who has to try and save them from a ruthless law enforcement brotherhood whose corruption and greed knows no bounds. Hard to put down. (H. B. Fenn)
