Hitting the Mark
A note from John - "We
typically choose our books from publisher catalogs a couple of
seasons in advance - so I am both surprised and pleased at how our many
of our choices find their way onto
the bestsellers list. At any given time, titles we make available to you often make the 'lists.'
Just this week we hit 7 out of 10, according to the New York Times: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN (both US and UK editions), OBSESSION IN DEATH, TRIGGER WARNING, MOTIVE, PRIVATE VEGAS, GRAY MOUNTAIN, and TWELVE DAYS.
Thank you for relying on VJ Books for your book buying experience. We always appreciate your business!"

C.J. BOX
Endangered
2015 NY: Penguin
She was gone. Joe Pickett had good reason to dislike Dallas Cates,
even if he was a rodeo champion, and now he has even more - Joe's
eighteen-year-old ward, April, has run off with him.
And
then comes even worse news: The body of a girl has been found in a
ditch along the highway - alive, but just barely, the victim of blunt
force trauma. It is April, and the doctors aren't sure if she'll
recover. Cates denies having anything to do with it - says she ran away
from him, too - and there's evidence that points to another man. But
Joe knows in his gut who's responsible. What he doesn't know is the
kind of danger he's about to encounter. Cates is bad enough, but
Cates's family is like none Joe has ever met before... (
