Treasure State: A Cassie Dewell Novel by C.J. Box
Private Investigator Cassie Dewell’s business is thriving,
and her latest case puts her on the hunt for a slippery con man who’s
disappeared somewhere in the “treasure state”. A wealthy Florida widow has
accused him of absconding with her fortune, and wants Cassie to find him and
get it back. The trail takes Cassie to Anaconda, Montana, a quirky former
copper mining town that’s the perfect place to reinvent yourself. As the case
develops, Cassie begins to wonder if her client is telling her everything.
On top of that, Cassie is also working what's easily one of
her strangest assignments ever. A poem that promises buried treasure to one
lucky adventurer has led to a cutthroat competition and five deaths among
treasure-hunters. But Cassie’s client doesn’t want the treasure. Instead, he
claims to be the one who hid the gold and wrote the poem. And he’s hired Cassie
to try to find him. Between the two cases, Cassie has her hands full.
In Montana, a killer view can mean more than just the
scenery, and Cassie knows much darker things hide behind the picturesque
landscape of Big Sky Country. Treasure State, C. J. Box's highly anticipated
follow-up to The Bitterroots, is full of more twists and turns than the
switchbacks through the Anaconda Range.
