Below Zero

Could Joe Pickett's foster daughter, seemingly killed six years ago, still be alive? A gripping read from award-winning author and New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, whose characters have been made into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.

'Tell Sherry April called.'

A simple phone message that shakes Joe and Marybeth Pickett's oldest daughter Sheridan to the core. To Joe, it doesn't seem possible that April, his foster daughter, could have survived the massacre he witnessed. But Sheridan believes there's a chance April is still alive, for the person sending her texts is able to recall incidents only April could know.

But when the texts start to refer to 'bad things', and when Marybeth discovers they come from locations throughout the West where vicious murders have taken place, alarm bells go off. Desperate to discover if April is still alive and to save her from possible danger, Joe, Sheridan, and Joe's associate Nate Romanowski take to the road to connect the texts with the crimes. Their paths will cross with a dying Chicago mobster on a mission of his own, as Joe and his family seek to discover if the danger is as real as it seems.
