The Crossroads
Author: C.J. Box
Game warden Joe Pickett fights for his life as his daughters try to uncover who shot him and left him for dead in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.
Marybeth Pickett gets the call she has always dreaded: her husband Joe is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.
Joe was found in his pickup at Antler Creek Junction, a crossroads connecting three ranches. Each road leading to a dangerous family. Each family with a different bone to pick with the local game warden. Marybeth and the new sheriff assume that Joe was ambushed by one of the families, but they have no idea which one since Joe didn’t say where he was going or why.
With Joe unconscious and fighting for his life with Marybeth at his side, Sheridan, April, and Lucy split up and investigate each of families to uncover the truth of what happened to their father, before it’s too late.

Reviews
The Real Book Spy, Featured Review:
“C.J. Box doesn’t just raise the bar with The Crossroads—he vaults over it. This is one of the most emotionally charged, gut-punching entries in the entire Joe Pickett series . . . Nobody writes the modern American West—or the moral battles waged within it—like C.J. Box, whose latest offering isn’t just a great thriller, it’s a masterclass in character, tension, and storytelling. Fans won’t just read this book—they’ll feel it.”
Mark Greaney #1 NYT Bestselling author of THE HARD LINE:
“THE CROSSROADS, by C.J. Box, drops readers into a high-stakes world of deceit and danger in the wilderness of Wyoming, where every moment counts. Box delivers yet another riveting Joe Picket thriller that explores the unbreakable bonds of family amid a backdrop of action and treachery. This one is a smashing read!”
Lisa Scottoline, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of THE UNRAVELING OF JULIA:
“The terrific C.J. Box shifts into overdrive with THE CROSSROADS, which opens with Joe Pickett’s life hanging in lethal jeopardy. His wife Marybeth rushes to his side, and his three daughters Sheridan, April, and Lucy jump into the breach to bring to justice whoever tried to take their father down. They prove themselves as fully capable as their father, each in her own way, and the Pickett family fills this riveting thriller with heart as big as the American West.”
Jack Carr, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of CRY HAVOC:
“The Crossroads proves why C.J. Box owns the modern American frontier. Joe Pickett is down but not out—and every page cuts deeper than the last. Loyalty, justice, and survival collide in a story that hits with the force of a .30-06 round across the Wyoming plains.”
Megan Miranda, NYT Bestselling Author of YOU BELONG HERE:
"Everything hangs in the balance in CJ Box’s The Crossroads—life and death, lawlessness and justice. But under the dangers, the bonds of family provide the beating heart to this riveting thriller. I devoured this book in a single, breathless sitting."
