This is the first in the Cody Hoyt series by C.J. Box. I was hooked on his other series Joe Pickett, but decided to go for a change of pace. No pun intended, but this book has Box written all over it. The characters and suspense will have you locked in about a third of the way into the book. It didn't take me long before like any Joe Pickett book I became obsessed in finding all the answers and simply couldn't put the book down!! There are so many twists and turns that this one will have you guessing to the very end. Full of surprises and suspense and I kid you not it had the hair on the back of my neck up a few times!! Cody Hoyt is not without flaws as you would suspect with a Box main character. He has he his addiction being a former alcholic and currently in AA, and also a heavy chain smoker. He also happens to be a cop, but not your typical cop and that is where the fun starts. I won't give anything away as its much too precious to find out on your own, but in this one we find him investigating a murder of a friend. Eventually it turns personal as he finds the only thing dear and perfect to him, his only son Justin suddenly is in the path of danger. Great job again C.J. Box for giving me some sleepless nights, I can't wait to see what you have in store next for Cody Hoyt. I also need to find some precious time to get back to your other main series with Joe Pickett!!
