The Crossroads [Hardcover]

“Raining here, but I’ve got a cup of hot tea and a Joe Pickett novel, so who has it better than me?” —Stephen King

Game warden Joe Pickett fights for his life as his daughters try to uncover who shot him and left him for dead in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.

Marybeth Pickett gets the call she has always dreaded: her husband Joe is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

Joe was found in his pickup at Antler Creek Junction, a crossroads connecting three ranches. Each road leading to a dangerous family. Each family with a different bone to pick with the local game warden. Marybeth and the new sheriff assume that Joe was ambushed by one of the families, but they have no idea which one since Joe didn’t say where he was going or why.

With Joe unconscious and fighting for his life with Marybeth at his side, Sheridan, April, and Lucy split up and investigate each of families to uncover the truth of what happened to their father, before it’s too late. Everything hangs in the balance in C.J. Box’s The Crossroads—life and death, lawlessness and justice. But under the dangers, the bonds of family provide the beating heart to this riveting thriller. I devoured this book in a single, breathless sitting. —Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author of You Belong Here and All the Missing Girls

“The Crossroads proves why C.J. Box owns the modern American frontier. Joe Pickett is down but not out—and every page cuts deeper than the last. —Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cry Havoc
