BACK OF BEYOND

Cody Hoyt is a cop whose life is running of track. He smokes like a chimney and after finally getting sober, he finds his AA sponsor dead. It might look like an accident followed by a fire to most people but Cody isn't buying it. He vows to do whatever it takes to find out who killed the man who helped him so much. It seems like Cody's obsession with the case may ruin his career but that doesn't seem to be enough to scare him into following the rules.

I am a fan of C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series but I loved Blue Heaven and now this new standalone. Cody is certainly not a saint, nor an easy man to admire but he is loyal and a very good cop. The struggle to find a killer in Yellowstone included plenty of twists and turns and it took me quite awhile to figure out who the real killer was. I found it to be a great read!

Rating - A
