The Crossroads cover

As Joe Pickett fights for his life, his daughters try to uncover who shot him and left him for dead. The riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.

When Joe Pickett is shot down, his daughters step up to find his attacker. The brilliant new thriller from New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box

'Raining here, but I’ve got a cup of hot tea and a Joe Pickett novel, so who has it better than me?' Stephen King

Marybeth Pickett gets the call she has always dreaded: her husband Joe is in hospital, in a critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

The Wyoming Game Warden was found in his pickup at a crossroads connecting three ranches and three dangerous families, each with a different reason to hate Joe Pickett. Marybeth and the new sheriff assume that one of those families is behind the attack, but with Joe unconscious they have no idea which one.

With Joe fighting for his life, Marybeth at his side, their three daughters Sheridan, Lucy and April split up to investigate the families, and in true Pickett family style, uncover what really happened to their father.
