About this listen

"Christina Delaine delivers a thrilling performance of this high-stakes hunt for a killer...Notably, Delaine's sensitive portrayal of a young man with a speech impediment adds emotional depth, while her depiction of the elusive Lizard King generates chills." — AudioFile Magazine

She almost caught him once. Now, he's back.

For three years, Investigator Cassie Dewell has been on a hunt for a serial killer known as the Lizard King whose hunting grounds are the highways and truck stops where runaways and prostitutes are most likely to vanish. Cassie almost caught him...once. Working for the Bakken County, North Dakota sheriff's department, Cassie has set what she believes is the perfect trap, and she has lured him and his truck to a depot. But the plan goes horribly wrong, and the blame falls on Cassie. Disgraced, she loses her job, and investigation into her role is put into motion.

At the same time, Kyle Westergaard, a troubled kid whom Cassie has taken under her wing, has disappeared after telling people that he's going off on a long-planned adventure. Kyle's grandmother begs Cassie to find him, and, with nothing else to do, Cassie agrees - all the while hunting the truck driver. Now Cassie is a lone wolf. And in the same way that two streams converge into a river, Kyle's disappearance may have a more sinister meaning than anyone realizes. With no allies, no support, and only her own wits to rely on, Cassie must take down a killer who is as ruthless as he is cunning. But can she do it alone, without losing her own humanity or her own life?

love it

C.J. Box is one of my all time favorite authors. I love that his books take place in the wilderness mostly with great characters and stories that keep you coming back. This one didn't disappoint, keep them coming!!

once again a great book in a series of great books

I just fall more in love with this character and her strength and resilience as each book goes along. Now I will get the last book and be saddened when this is all finished and I can't read about Cassie anymore!!! CJ Box I just found out about your book series by watching the show Big Sky and now I am a huge fan!! I try to get everyone I know hooked on this series bc it's far better than the show (& the show is pretty good, so that says a lot!)...

Edge of your seat

Great action and plot. A bit predictable, but a fun (fun isn’t really the right word) listen.

Good story, but

I am a Joe Pickett fan, while the story was good, it did not compare to Joe Pickett. I liked that the ending did leave room for a sequel. Hopefully with a different narrator. Narration was awful.

Great story.. terrible narration

I love CJ Box books... but the narrator grated on me from the first chapter. It completely detracted from the story, which is as always fantastic.
I had a hard time focusing on the story line several times due to the narration.. especially the extremely poor fake accents. Yikes.
However, the story is great!! But this is one book I wishI read instead of listened to.

love author and story but not the narrator

as usual when someone does a fake southern accent it's awful. it's even worse a woman is trying to do a man's voice throughout the book. however storyline is awesome.

CJ Box is fantastic!

I have listened to every single book written by him...this book was my all time favorite! Usually I limit listening to when I am walking. I listened to Paradise Valley when cooking, driving and anything else I did...Kyle & Cassie are fantastic characters!
