Rating: 4 out of 5

After reading the title, I imagined that the killer would be found in a box, maybe in a morgue or in a trap of his own making. I was pleasantly surprised that this killer in a box referred to something else entirely. The box, as it turned out, was a perimeter with police all around forming a "box" where the suspect was believed to be hiding.But, then, why was our hero sent into the box alone? Were there police who wanted him dead? If so, why?Bit by bit the answers to my questions began to be revealed, only to add more questions: What had any of this to do with his wife's hit-and-run murder? Or did it have anything to do with it? And: Who could be trusted to give him the truth? Was there no one, not even his own partner?The questions kept building, and I couldn't help but read for more answers. This book is definitely a page-turner, action-packed mystery that kept me reading long after my husband went to bed.I am delighted to give it a solid four stars.
