OUT OF RANGE
By C.J. Box

Kirkus Review of Books: One of the Top Ten Mysteries of 2005

The Wall Street Journal:

"…an outstanding series… stunning scenery and modern malevolence…combines the rural pleasures of the classic Western (close encounters with bears, an old-fashioned gunfight) with the sleuthing and forensics of the police-procedural… Joe Pickett, with a little help from some old and new friends, proves to be more than a match for any era’s foe."

The New York Times:

"C.J. Box serves up a lot of red meat -- some of it still raw and bloody -- in OUT OF RANGE... intelligent... compassionate... The glorious scenery is a bonus..."

Booklist (starred review):

"In the fifth installment of any series, even one this good, one might reasonably expect a creeping sense of routine. But, if anything, Box is getting better... Recommended for practically everybody."

Kirkus Review (starred review):

"Joe's fifth case is his best balanced, most deeply felt and most mystifying to date: an absolute must."

Toronto Globe and Mail:

"C. J. Box is another brilliant voice from the American West...a fine mystery, this is a great way to learn..."

Publishers Weekly:

"... taut, suspenseful... skillfully orchestrated... With each book he creates plots of greater complexity..."

Library Journal (starred review):

"An unforgettably tense trip into the high country... Box's depiction of family tensions rings true... This fifth in a series is a Western lover's mystery, relying heavily on guns and honor; clearly, Joe's the real sheriff in town..."
