#1Β New York TimesΒ bestselling author C. J.
Box'sΒ Treasure StateΒ finds Cassie Dewell in
Montana on the trail of a con man.
Private
Investigator Cassie Dewellβs business is thriving, and
her latest case puts her on the hunt for a slippery con man
whoβs disappeared somewhere in the βtreasure
stateβ. 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 thatβs 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 Cassieβs client doesnβt
want the treasure. Instead, he claims to be the one who hid
the gold and wrote the poem. And heβs 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.Β Treasure State, C. J. Box's highly anticipated
follow-up toΒ The Bitterroots, is full of more twists
and turns than the switchbacks through the Anaconda Range.
