When two sisters set out across a remote stretch of Montana road to visit their friend, little do they know it will be the last time anyone might ever hear from them again. The girls—and their car—simply vanish. Former police investigator Cody Hoyt has just lost his job and has fallen off the wagon after a long stretch of sobriety. Convinced by his son and his former rookie partner, Cassie Dewell, he begins the drive south to the girls' last known location. As Cody makes his way to the lonely stretch of Montana highway where they went missing, Cassie discovers that Gracie and Danielle Sullivan aren't the first girls who have disappeared in this area. This majestic landscape is the hunting ground for a killer whose viciousness is outmatched only by his intelligence. And he might not be working alone. Time is running out for Gracie and Danielle…Can Cassie overcome her doubts and lack of experience and use her innate skill? Can Cody Hoyt battle his own demons and find this killer before another victim vanishes on the highway?

Needed more descriptions

The story itself was good but the big parts were left lacking. You can’t kill/kidnap/harm people all within a couple of paragraphs. No build up, no big moment, no feeling. No descriptions of the needed info and way way too much of things that were not relevant to the story at all.
HORRIBLE!

I love CJ Box / Joe Pickett novels and made a huge mistake buying this book. The “Lizard King” character is horrendous in thoughts and action so I was so disgusted I quit reading after a few chapters. This is a sick book...

It was a great book, well written and keeping your interest. Still, I missed the game warden, the mountains and the the animals.

The highway was a pretty good book, it’s the first of a series and I am hoping that the next book is better.

Too Typical...

This is your typical kidnapping story. Truck driver kidnaps prostitute and gets rescued by cop. There isn't really much more to say about this book. It moves fairly slow and I didn't really feel hooked.

If you're going to read C.J. Box, Id say stick with the Joe Pickett series.
Riveting another great read
