Off the Grid

2016 | Fiction & Poetry

The Red Desert of Wyoming is a bleak, beautiful, punishing place for anybody, but never more dangerous than it is now for Joe Pickett, Nate Romanowski, and the one who should never have been there: Joe’s daughter Sheridan.

Critics and fans alike embraced C.J. Box’s Endangered: “An edge-of-the-seat thriller….A tightly coiled plot that springs from surprise to surprise” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel); “Try and read this in one sitting, because you won’t want to put it down for a minute” (Suspense Magazine).

But now the stakes are higher than ever.

Nate Romanowski is off the grid, recuperating from wounds and trying to deal with past crimes, when he is suddenly confronted by a small team of elite professional special operators. They’re not here to threaten him, but to make a deal. They need help destroying a domestic terror cell in the Red Desert, and in return, they’ll make Nate’s criminal record disappear.

But they are not what they seem, as Joe Pickett discovers. They have a much different plan in mind, and it just may be something that takes them all down, including Nate and Joe. And if there is other collateral damage? That’s just the fortunes of war.
