C. J. Box on "Free Fire" tour


From Penguin group, C. J Box’s In Plain Sight, from Berkeley Penguingroup to debut in mass market paperback on May 4, 2007.

LIBRARY JOURNAL named In Plain Sight as the Best Mystery of 2006.

J. W. Keeley is a man with a score to settle. He blames one man for the death of his brother: Joe Pickett. And now J.W. is going to make him suffer. Spring has finally come to Saddlestring,Wyoming and game warden Joe Pickett is relieved the long, harsh winter is finally over. However, a cloud of trouble threatens to spoil the milder weather-local matriarch and ranch owner Opal Scarlett has vanished under suspicious circumstances. Two of her sons, Hank and Arlen, are battling for control of their mother’s multi-million dollar empire and their bitter fight threatens to tear the whole valley apart.

Free Fire Debuts May 10 everywhere; the critics are raving…

The New York Times Book Review says, “When I think of crime committed out-of-doors, I think of Joe Pickett,” the governor says. So do we. And Joe doesn’t let us down, leading us on an exhilarating tour of the park that covers every natural wonder, from showy Old Faithful to secret thermal springs spewing microbes, found nowhere else on earth.

The Free Fire tour begins May 10 in Houston. Look for C. J. back in Wyoming at Ralph’s Books and Cards on May 24; in Laramie at Chickering Books on May 25; and in Cheyenne at City News on May 26.
