Winterkill

WINTERKILL is one of the TOP TEN MYSTERIES OF 2003 according to Oline Cogdill of the South Florida Sun Sentinal: "Few mystery authors who use the environment as a plot foundation are as even-handed and clear-eyed as Box. In his third novel, Box blends the hot-button issue of survivalists, the FBI interventions at Waco and Ruby Ridge and personal freedom into a thrilling and heart-wrenching plot."

"...unexpected pleasures."

0

Mysteries often provide unexpected pleasures. Intricate plots and surprise endings are standard fare, but a delightful fringe benefit can be a mini-travelogue.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Author C.J. Box is Mystery's Newest Hit"

If Nevada Barr were a guy, she might write like C. J. Box. Two things the authors do have in common is their love for the great outdoors and memorable protagonists.

Jackson (MS) County Ledger

"Recommended, especially for fans of Nevada Barr and Tony Hillerman."
