In this gripping crime thriller set in the Wyoming wilderness, Joe Pickett is made an offer he just can't refuse...

Joe Pickett, fired from his job as Wyoming Game Warden, receives an unexpected visit from Governor Rulon. The wily governor has a special request, one Joe knows he can't refuse.

Lawyer Clay McCann slaughtered four campers in a far-off corner of Yellowstone, then immediately turned himself in. Yet as the crimes were committed on a sliver of land with overlapping jurisdictions, the so-called free-fire zone, nobody can try the worst mass murderer in Wyoming history for his crime.

Rulon, aware of the public outrage, will reinstate Joe if he'll investigate. With McCann deeply involved with unusually dangerous illegal activity, Joe realises the key to the murders may be hidden in the rugged terrain of Yellowstone itself.

When wealthy matriarch Opal Scarlett vanishes, Joe Pickett is sure one of her greedy sons did her in. But when Joe becomes the victim of violent pranks, he wonders if what's happening has less to do with Opal's disappearance than with the darkest chapter of his own past.

Game warden Joe Pickett returns in a twisting, action-packed tale of greed, power, and murder.
Joe Pickett is attempting to enjoy-all right, survive-his mother-in-law's wedding to a local big-shot rancher when he receives some disturbing news: Will Jensen, a fellow Wyoming game warden and a good friend, has killed himself. And Joe's been picked to temporarily run Jensen's Teton district.
Jackson, Wyoming, is a far cry from Joe's hometown of Saddlestring-it's the epicenter for many environmental extremists and an elite playground for the rich and powerful-and Joe quickly finds himself in over his head. Yet despite the pressures of his new job, he can't get his friend's suicide out of his mind. By all accounts, Will had changed in the last few months, becoming violent and unpredictable.
The closer Joe comes to the truth about Will's death, the more his own life spirals out of control-and he realizes that if he's not careful, he may end up as Jackson's next victim. "Out of Range" proves once again that C. J. Box is one of the most original and entertaining voices in mystery fiction.

A month ago, fifteen-year-old Feline Jagow disappeared, presumed abducted, on her way to school. Her distraught mother asks private investigator Alexander Zorbach, a former police detective, to discover her whereabouts.

Despite a month having elapsed since her disappearance, Feline's music playlist was changed just a few days ago. Could a seemingly innocuous list of songs contain a hidden clue to where the girl is being held - and how she can be rescued - or is the truth something more sinister?

Zorbach needs Alina Grigoriev's help, but enlisting the medium will prove difficult given their shared past. The mystery of the playlist plunges Zorbach into a horrifying nightmare, in which the chances of survival for everyone involved are close to zero.

Dr Suker is one of the best eye surgeons in the world. He is also a psychopath who abducts women and removes their eyelids.

So far, all the victims of the twisted doctor's crimes have committed suicide shortly thereafter. The police are unable to proceed against him due to the lack of evidence.

When another woman is abducted, her mother turns to Alina Gregoriev for help. Gregoriev, the blind physiotherapist, has been considered a medium since her abilities helped capture an infamous serial killer.

She reluctantly gets involved in the Suker case, where she is drawn into a world of madness and violence that also engulfs her old friend, police officer turned journalist Alexander Zorbach.

First he kills the mother, then he kidnaps the child. The grieving father is given 45 hours to search. If the child isn't found, they die, captive.

The press call him the Eye Collector. Because the horror doesn't end with the murders. Every body discovered has had the left eye removed.

When evidence implicates police officer turned journalist Alexander Zorbach, who has championed the case against the Eye Collector, he becomes the main suspect.

Meanwhile, a mysterious witness comes forward. Alina Gregoriev, a blind physiotherapist, claims to be able to see into the lives of her patients simply by touching them.

She says she treated the Eye Collector yesterday...

Perfect for fans of Adrian McKinty, John Marrs and Chris Carter.

A missing child. A desperate father. A terrible secret.

Guido T has already confessed to two horrific child murders and led Berlin police to the bodies. The police are sure he is also the murderer of six-year-old Max, who disappeared without a trace a year ago.

But now the killer is staying silent. The investigators have no reliable evidence, so Max's parents have no certainty and are unable to say goodbye to their son.

Max's father agrees. He plans to force the child killer into a confession. Because nothing is worse than uncertainty.
