Winner of the 2009 Edgar Award for Best Novel, Blue Heaven is a thrilling read from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, creator of the characters of hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.
They were running away from home.
Now they're running for their lives.
If twelve-year-old Annie hadn't been angry with her mother, she would never have taken her younger brother William fishing in the woods near Blue Heaven.
And they would never have witnessed four police officers committing a violent murder.
These men know exactly who William and Annie are. To save themselves, the children must run.
They don't trust anyone until they meet Jess Rawlins, an old-school rancher, who knows there's something wrong with the law in this town. Jess helps the children, but there are eyes everywhere - and you can only run for so long before you're caught . . .
