Back of beyond. C. J. Box. 2011.

Regular price $7.00

Detective Cody Hoyt is a brilliant cop, but he’s also a recovering alcoholic, and AA doesn’t cover what to do when you find the dead body of your sponsor in a burned-out mountain cabin. Is this the last desperate act of an addict? Or is that exactly what someone wants him to think?

Cody Hoyt isn’t popular down at the station, but since he doesn’t exactly have friends to spare, he’s determined to avenge the one man who was always there for him. When evidence from the cabin incriminates a wilderness guide, Hoyt is ready to track him down. The only problem is, he has Cody’s son, and he’s taking him into the back of beyond.
