Description

Winner of the 2009 Edgar Award for Best Novel, Blue Heaven is a thrilling read from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, creator of the characters of hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky. They were running away from home, now they're running for their lives. If twelve-year-old Annie hadn't been angry with her mother, she would never have taken her younger brother fishing deep in the North Idaho woods. They would never have witnessed a murder, nor looked straight into the eyes of the four killers. Now they're running for their lives. They can't go home: the killers know exactly who they are. They can't turn to the law: the killers are four respected policemen. There's nowhere for William and Annie to hide, and no one they can trust until they meet Jess Rawlins. Rawlins, an old-school rancher, knows theres something wrong with the law in Blue Heaven. But hes up against four men who will stop at nothing to silence their witnesses... Reviews for Blue Heaven 'Crackles with electric tension and action.' Denver Post 'Hard to put down.' Toronto Sun 'A terrific suspense novel... You'll be hooked.'
