Volume VI, Issue 1 MAY 2017 BOOK NOOK VICIOUS CIRCLE - C.J. Box --The Cates family has always been a bad lot. Joe had been able to strike against them when they critically endangered the life of his daughter, April. He always figured they would come after him - and they are. Dallas Cates is out of prison and full of malevolent power. Joe has his friend, Nate Romanowski, by his side, but will that be enough this time? All he can do is plan and wait for them to make the first move. But when it comes, it is in a way for which no amount of planning could have prepared him. The plane circled in the dark. Joe could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. Remember to date and initial - return for others to enjoy.
