Blue Heaven

A twelve-year-old girl and her younger brother go on the run in the woods of North Idaho, pursued by four men they have just watched commit murder--four men who know exactly who William and Annie are, and who know exactly where their desperate mother is waiting for news of her children?s fate. Retired cops from Los Angeles, the killers easily persuade the inexperienced sheriff to let them lead the search for the missing children.William and Annie?s unexpected savior comes in the form of an old-school rancher teetering on the brink of foreclosure. But as one man against four who will stop at nothing to silence their witnesses, Jess Rawlins needs allies, and he knows that one word to the wrong person could seal the fate of the children or their mother. In a town where most of the ranches like his have turned into acres of ranchettes populated by strangers, finding someone to trust won?t be easy. With true-to-life, unforgettable characters and a ticking-clock plot that spans just over forty-eight hours, C.J. Box has created a thriller that delves into issues close to the heart: the ruthless power of greed over broken ideals, the healing power of community where unlikely heroes find themselves at the crossroads of duty and courage, and the truth about what constitutes a family. In a setting whose awesome beauty is threatened by those who want a piece of it, Blue HeavenBlue Heaven.

Now they're running for their lives. They can't go home: the killers know exactly who they are. And where they live. They can't turn to the law: the killers are four respected Los Angeles policemen.

  • "Siblings Annie and William Taylor, ages 12 and 10, witness a gruesome murder in the woods outside the small Idaho town of Kootenai Bay, nicknamed "Blue Heaven" for its abundance of retired LAPD officers. Annie and William make a run for it after they're spotted by the killers, a group of crooked LAPD cops who retired to Idaho eight years earlier after pulling a complicated heist in California that left a man dead. Rancher Jess Rawlins becomes the children's only hope of survival after they take refuge in his barn. Jess must stay one step ahead of the killers, who have volunteered to "help" the local authorities investigate the children's disappearance. Annie and William's mother is frantic, as the scheming officers try to persuade her the children are gone for good."@en

  • "Im Wald lauert das Böse "Wäre die zwölfjährige Annie Taylor an diesem regnerischen Aprilnachmittag nicht auf die Idee gekommen, mit ihrem kleinen Bruder William angeln zu gehen, wäre es ihr erspart geblieben, die Exekution zu sehen und den Mördern in die Augen blicken zu müssen. Aber sie war nun einmal wütend auf ihre Mutter gewesen."So beginnt eine gnadenlose Hetzjagd, denn die Kinder sind fortan auf der Flucht vor den skrupellosen Mördern, während die Mutter voller Verzweiflung nach ihnen sucht.

  • "Ein Geschwisterpaar wird in der rauen Wildnis von Nord Idaho Zeuge eines Mordes. Als die Kinder von den Tätern entdeckt werden, müssen sie fliehen, um nicht selbst erschossen zu werden. Die Gegend galt bislang als sicher, da sich viele pensionierte Polizisten niedergelassen haben. Doch als diese die Seiten wechseln, gibt es für die Kinder keinen mehr, dem sie trauen können. Wie Wölfe im Schafspelz besetzen die Täter strategisch wichtige Anlaufpunkte und verhindern so, dass die Kinder zu ihrer Mutter zurückkehren können. In dieses Szenario platzt ein pensionierter Detective aus Kalifornien, der den einzigen offenen Fall seiner Laufbahn doch noch lösen will. Wenn Polizisten nicht das sind, wofür sie sich ausgeben, wird es für Zeugen eines Mordes gefährlich, die Wahrheit zu sagen."
