In Badlands, author C.J. Box introduces readers to the once-quiet town of Grimstad, North Dakota, now transformed into a bustling oil capital. With the influx of wealth comes a surge in crime, and newly appointed deputy sheriff Cassie Dewell faces the daunting task of restoring order. Amidst the chaos, twelve-year-old Kyle Westergaard, often underestimated due to his quiet demeanor, stumbles upon a dangerous secret that could alter the town's fate. As Cassie delves deeper into Grimstad's underbelly, her path converges with Kyle's, leading them into a perilous confrontation with those who will stop at nothing to protect their interests. Box masterfully weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue, exploring the dark side of boomtown culture and the resilience of unlikely heroes. Cover art may vary and will be based on availability.
