New books by Box, Preston

New books are available by bestselling authors C.J. Box and Douglas Preston.

In Back of Beyond, by C.J. Box, we meet Cody Hoyt, a brilliant cop who is an alcoholic struggling with sobriety when his AA sponsor Hank Winters is found burned to death in a remote mountain cabin. At first it looks like the suicide of a man who's fallen off the wagon, but when Cody takes a closer look at the scene of his friend's death, it becomes apparent that was murder. When clues found at the scene link the murderer to an outfitter leading tourists on a wilderness horseback trip into Yellowstone National Park - a trip that includes his son Justin - Cody is desperate to get on their trail and stop the killer before the group heads into the wild.

Cold Vengeance, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, is the 11th book in the Pendergast series. Devastated by the discovery that his wife, Helen, was murdered, Special Agent Pendergast must have retribution. As he stalks his wife's betrayers - a chase that takes him from Scotland to New York City to Louisiana - he is also forced to dig further into Helen's past. And he is stunned to learn that Helen may have been a collaborator in her own murder. Pendergast realizes that the conspiracy goes back generations and is more monstrous than he could have imagined - and everything he's believed, everything he's trusted, may be a horrific lie.
