Back Of Beyond

By C.J. Box

Book Overview

In bestselling author C.J. Box's Back of Beyond, Cody Hoyt, although a brilliant cop, is an alcoholic struggling with two months of sobriety when his friend Hank Winters turns up dead in a remote mountain cabin. At first it looks like the suicide of a man who's fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that. As Cody digs deeper into the case, all roads lead to foul play. After years of bad behavior with his department, Cody is in no position to be investigating a homicide. But he will stop at nothing to find out who murdered Hank. And why...

When clues found at the scene link the murderer to an outfitter leading tourists on a multiday wilderness horseback trip in Yellowstone National Park, Cody is desperate to get on the trail and stop the killer in his tracks. There's only one catch: his own son, Justin, is among the tourists. Now, in one of the most remote places on earth, Cody must enter a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a ruthless enemy who seems to know his every move...and is hell-bent on destroying the only important thing in Cody's life he has left.

Customer Reviews

A strong 4.5 or a 5

Wow! What a whirlwind of a ride! Action packed read that I spent reading way too far into the night to finish. Let me start off by saying Cody Hoyt is not a likeable character at all . . . at least, not at the start. By the end of the book he had grown on me. Rather a rogue detective who doesn't stop until he gets the job done. A lot of twists and turns and unexpected happenings that really kept me engrossed. I am interested to see what the next in the series brings.
