C J Box - Anthony Award Winning Mystery Author

C J Box - Anthony Award Winning Mystery Author

C J Box had his first novel, Open Season, published in 2001. The book won three awards for best first novel: Anthony, Macavity and Barry. The book was also a finalist for Edgar Best First Novel.

I had intended to buy and get his first book signed at the 2002 BoucherCon. But the available books were $60. More than I wanted to pay at the time.

Recently, at a mystery book store ... I overheard the manager excitedly talking to a customer about an author's latest books. They both were big fans of Mr. Box! So I decided to look at his books again. I found a signed copy of Open Season on ABE for only $40 and added it to my collection.

Mr. Box has published a total of eight novels including Blue Heaven coming out in early 2008:

Title	Year Published
Open Season	2001
Savage Run	2002
Winter Kill	2003
Trophy Hunt	2004
Out of Range	2005
In Plain Sight	2006
Free Fire	2007
Blue Heaven	2008

Here is a chart of Open Season showing the price range of available copies from ABE.com booksellers:

There are five books between $40 and $55. After that the offered prices are start to climb.
