Nate Romanowski lost everything thanks to Axel Soledad’s murderous spree (in Three-Inch Teeth<\/a><\/strong><\/em>), and in Box’s latest thriller. Nate will do anything to find and kill Alex. Joe Pickett and his wife are watching Nate’s daughter while he’s off-grid seeking justice. At the same time, the governor asks Joe to find his son-in-law, Mark, and an initial search doesn’t look promising. Mark is alive, but he saw something he shouldn’t have; now he\u2019s being held captive by Axel and his accomplices and needs medical help. Nate and Joe have no idea that their separate journeys will lead them to a final confrontation on Battle Mountain, and that their lives will never be the same again. Box is the master of landscape writing, with the reader feeling the chill of the outdoors and smelling the pine trees. He has delivered a gut-punching thriller that is both compelling and brutal in this cataclysmic war between good and evil.<\/strong> This series gets better with each installment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
