Paradise Valley (The Highway Quartet #4)

PARADISE VALLEY                                        C. J. BOX

For three years, Investigator Cassie Dewell has been on a hunt for a serial killer known as the Lizard King whose hunting grounds are the highways and truck stops where runaways and prostitutes are most likely to vanish. Cassie almost caught him...once.

Working for the Bakken County, North Dakota sheriff's department, Cassie has set what she believes is the perfect trap and she has lured him and his truck to a depot. But the plan goes horribly wrong, and the blame falls on Cassie. Disgraced, she loses her job and investigation into her role is put into motion.

At the same time, Kyle Westergaard, a troubled kid whom Cassie has taken under her wing, has disappeared after telling people that he’s going off on a long-planned adventure. Kyle's grandmother begs Cassie to find him and, with nothing else to do, Cassie agrees—all the while hunting the truck driver.

Now Cassie is a lone wolf. And in the same way that two streams converge into a river, Kyle's disappearance may have a more sinister meaning than anyone realizes. With no allies, no support, and only her own wits to rely on, Cassie must take down a killer who is as ruthless as he is cunning. But can she do it alone, without losing her own humanity or her own life?
 

PAT'S REVIEW


This being the second book I have read by this author. It seems that I found a totally different character than the first book that I read of his. In this one, Cassie Dewell is the person who is leading the investigation. She has spent years looking for a serial killer. Now that her son and his friend go missing on a trip she like any mother, parent fears the worst and searches for her child and the other boy. Even has an old fashion posse. The description of the scenery is exceptional, and overall the author makes this story work with the different characters that are added to the story. Each one has their own place in the story and for that this story works. A very good book. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com
