โฆ Synopsis
SUMMARY:
Awardwinning and nationalbestselling writer C. J. Box returns with a vengeance in this thrilling new novel featuring Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett. Below Zero begins with an unassuming phone message: Tell Sherry April called. But SherryJoe Picketts oldest daughter, Sheridanand the Pickett family are shaken to the core. April, Picketts foster daughter, was killed in a horrific murder and arson spree six years prior. To Joe, it doesnt seem even remotely possible that April could have survived the massacre described in Winterkill. He was there. But Sherry starts to believe theres a chance that April is still alive; the girl on the other end of the phone is able to recall family incidents that only April could know. Joe, however, remains suspicious, especially when he discovers that the calls have been placed from locations where serious crimes have occurred. At the same time, an older man and a much younger girl cross the country. The man is on a mission to repent for the crimes hes committed against the environment during his lifetime. He ultimately wants to offset each incident until he not only becomes carbon neutral, but actually drops below zero as if hes never existed. As the path of these travelers starts to intersect with the Pickett familys, the question is raised: Is this young girl Aprilor are Joe and his family the victims of the cruelest of hoaxes?
