Cassie’s persistence and insight fully justifies their confidence and appreciation.ĬJ Box shows that his character portrayals are not limited to masculine types like Joe Pickett: Cassie’s world is filled in convincingly, detailing her frustrations both as a law enforcement officer and as a mother of 12-year-old Ben and daughter of ex-hippie Isabel.
Carrie is worried that their clumsy approach may put the lives of Pergram’s hostages at risk.Īfter her loss of official position, the help Cassie receives from various law enforcement agencies may seem dubious, but this is justified through the excellent informal links established over many years with local police in Montana, where the chase ends up, and with Leslie Bohaunek, a North Carolina prosecutor.
A few sharp guesses put her on the right track only to find that Tibbs, and sneaky FBI agent Rhodine, plan to capitalise on her investigative skill. Her efforts bear fruit and it becomes evident that their fate is mixed up with that of Pergram. She’s at a loose end, and takes up an offer to investigate the disappearance of two boys, Kyle and Raheem, on behalf of Kyle’s grandmother Lottie. Avery Tibbs, the county attorney, uses the failure of Carrie’s initiative to get her dismissed from office. Pergram is a trucker and Cassie sets up a phony haulage contract to lure him in, but Pergram is not fooled and exacts a terrible price. After previous history with Ronald Pergram, aka the Lizard King, detailed in The Highway and Badlands, she is determined to bring him to justice. Cassie Dewell is chief investigator for the Bakken County sheriff in North Dakota.
