She almost caught the notorious Lizard King serial killer once. Now, he's back--with a vengeance.

For three years, Investigator Cassie Dewell has been on the hunt for a serial killer known as the Lizard King,
whose hunting grounds are the highways and truck stops where runaways and prostitutes are most likely to vanish. Now, working for the Bakken County, North Dakota sheriff's department, Cassie has set what she believes is the perfect trap for the Lizard King--and she has lured him and his truck to a depot. But the plan goes horribly wrong...and Cassie loses her job, her reputation, and her hope for justice.

At the same time, Kyle Westergaard, a troubled kid whom Cassie has taken under her wing, has disappeared after telling people that he's going off on a long-planned adventure. But Kyle's disappearance may have a more sinister meaning than anyone realizes...Now Cassie must track down Kyle and take down a killer who is as ruthless as he is cunning. But can she do it alone, without losing her own humanity--or her own life?

Paradise Valley continues the Highway Quartet series from bestselling author C. J. Box.

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting finish with grizzly action along the way
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

There are two stories at the start of this book. In the first, Chief Investigator Cassandra “Cassie” Dewell is working closely with the North Dakota Bakken County’s sheriff department to apprehend a long haul trucker named Ron Pergram. If you’ve read any of Mr. Box’s earlier novels about Cassie you’ll probably recognize Pergram as a nasty fellow who calls himself the Lizard King. He claims this honorific because of his skill in capturing young women referred to a lizards who hang around truck parking lots and “service” the truck drivers when they are not on the road.
Cassie has been tracking Pergram and has some excellent leads on where and when he’ll be coming through this particular North Dakota county. The plan falls through and Cassie is blamed for the debacle which follows his attempted capture. She loses her job but this doesn’t slow her down. Instead, she assumes the roll of independent private investigator and resumes her pursuit of Pergram.
The other story is about Kyle Westergaard, a boy whom Cassie has taken under her wing. Kyle, and a buddy named Raheem Johnson, are bored with their lives and want to take an adventurous trip down the Missouri River. So they “borrow” a flat bottom boat and, with some meager supplies, head south in the mode of Huckleberry Finn, dreaming of excitement in such places as New Orleans.
It was about this point in the book that I figured where the plot was heading: Cassie, the Lizard King, and the river-born boys would converge. And they do for an exciting and tension-filled story.
Cassie has such a huge geographic area to search but in a stroke of good detective work she enlists the help of a retired sheriff named Bull Mitchell. Bull knows the Pergram family and helps Cassie quickly zero in on Pergram’s likely hideout when he’s not hauling cargo on the highways.
Meanwhile, we learn of Pergram’s base camp located in the ironically named Paradise Valley where he has four different persons imprisoned: Kyle, Raheem, and two women named Tiffany and Amanda. It’s sometimes difficult to read about Pergram’s sadistic treatment of these people, using tight collars with implanted electronic devices that he connects with a remote controller.
The ending is exciting and tension-filled with justice meted out to the Lizard King in a most appropriate manner.

Cassie Dewell goes over & beyond the call of “duty,” even when she isn’t officially on duty. She’s like a hound on point, never letting go of the scent. Her chaotic life has dozens of twisted turns and is written up so well, I think I would recognize her anywhere. This was a gory, suspenseful page turner.

The feminist side in me must be getting stronger the older I get. C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series is one that I've read in the past and enjoyed, but for some reason, I'm just not passionate about keeping current with it. It's as though I know it can wait patiently until I'm ready to read it again. However, when I found out that Box was starting a new series with a female lead, I perked right up. When I did a little research, I discovered that Cassie Dewell isn't a new character but one that's been in Box's Highway Quartet books. Lo and behold, the last book in that quartet went on sale, and I snapped it up so I could see whether or not Cassie is my type of character. She most certainly is.

I didn't feel at a disadvantage beginning with the last book in the Highway Quartet. On the contrary, Box's fantastic opening scenes and pedal-to-the-metal pacing grabbed me right at the start and kept me reading. Several characters made me sit up and take notice. Yes, Cassie is relentless and just the type of person that I want to read more about. The Lizard King is appropriately creepy, young Kyle can break your heart while impressing you all at the same time, and that crusty old guy known as Bull reminded me of my grandfather.

When you put this high-octane story in a setting that stretches from the oil fields of North Dakota to Yellowstone National Park, you've got a winner. Now that I've been formally introduced to Cassie Dewell, I'm ready for The Bitterroots. Bring it on!

5.0 out of 5 stars The impossible has happened!! Yes, I've found a book by Mr. Box that outclassed his Joe Pickett series. This is the very best of the best, as Cassie Sewell outshines Marshall Joe Pickett. Outstanding story of perseverance and successful investigative techniques from beginning to end!

Most definitely five stars worthy as Cassie, with bulldog determination, once again pursued the Lizard King throughout several western states that brought one of her mentors best friends out of induced retirement to assist her. The storylines are unsurpassed in their outstanding descriptiveness of each and every exciting episode. Too, the Author's successful selection of characters definitely portrays their uncanny assignments from beginning to end. Having retired from law enforcement, I was definitely impressed with the ongoing exciting missions, and how they continuously reflected the normal law enforcement investigative techniques!
I have read several of the Cody Hoyt/Cassie Sewell series, but this is definitely the very best. To bad Cody met his demise before Cassie was able to fulfill their dreams and bring the Lizard King to justice. Outstanding camaraderie among the good guys, and some very bad good guys add trouble to Cassie's outstanding investigative techniques.
Normally a fast moving western is my forte, but this is one of, if not, the best books I have had the opportunity to follow. Without hesitation, I definitely recommend outstanding descriptive, and intriguing, presentation by one of the greatest storytellers of all times. Believe me when I say you will be the loser if you don't follow Cassie, and crew, when they continuously keep the readers on the edge of their seat from beginning to end!!!😄

The third novel in the Cassie Dewell line, after she lost her mentor Cody Hoyt. Cassie has been trying desperately to lure her nemesis, The Lizard King (not Jim Morrison), into a final showdown after the serial killer had previously been freed on technicalities and incompetence.
An explosive start to the book sets a fast pace throughout, as Cassie races against time leading an effectively team of vigilantes against glory hunting FBI and political lawmen.
Kyle Westergaard provides further continuity from the previous book, Badlands, and again is a central character in another C J Box masterpiece of suspense.

I was a little out off at first when I realised how much time had passed as I felt I had missed reading a lot of stuff that had happened such as her engagement to Ian Davis as it wasn't in the previous book except a few of her thoughts and feelings. However once it for going it was and interesting read and you feel like you're rooting even more for Cassie as you know that she is right and is a good investigator whereas the law enforcement I'd be shocking. I especially enjoy reading about the landscape and Yellowstone. I look forward to seeing where her next adventure takes her.

Ce troisième volet des aventures de Cassie Dewell (le quatrième de la série entamée avec Cody Hoyt) souffre d'un début assez laborieux, lié à des problèmes de construction et de rythme.
Mais dès que l'enquête est vraiment lancée ça devient un très bon roman policier, jusqu'à sa conclusion.
Cassie est un personnage très nuancé, très riche, l'alter ego de Joe Pickett en quelque sorte. J'espère que l'auteur poursuivra cette série, ce serait dommage de s'arrêter là.
