Publisher's Summary

From the Audible Originals anthology Birds of Prey: The Harlan Coben Challenge comes this thrilling story of deceit and duplicity by New York Times best seller C.J. Box.

It starts with a stranger walking into a campsite, seemingly out of nowhere. It ends with that same stranger at the Denver airport. Along the way, he has acquired a prize that will be his salvation.

But the road to Easy Street can take unexpected turns. And the only certainty about a sure thing is that nothing is certain at all.

Watch for Birds of Prey: The Harlan Coben Challenge, coming to Audible on Oct. 6, 2022.

Birds of Prey was created in partnership with International Thriller Writers (ITW).

Intriguing read

Precious cargo has inspired me to look into more books written by CJ Box. His writing style presents quality details to envision the story with clarity—not overly verbose. I will look forward to reading Birds of Prey.

Wish it was longer!

Great short story, and narrator - would really enjoy more like this but usually feel that way about Mr. Box’s stories

Just Deserts

This was a great short story about a theft and getaway that went horribly wrong. A man stealing bird eggs stumbles upon a camp and murders some of the campers. His getaway doesn’t go as planned and he gets his just deserts. A great short listen. The author does an intro about why the birds are special.

Is that it?

Would have loved a novella or novel. Too short. Even for a short story. Ha

Precious Cargo

I cannot believe how much was fitted into this short story, I loved every minute of it. It had so much suspense and the ending was very good. The narration was very good as well.

I’ll read anything from Box, thanks Audible

Was a nice surprise to see for free. I never buy anything under 7 hours, but I’ll take free!

Great short story

This is a great short story. Tightly wound and a fun listen. Very well narrated. As a side, it has a situational reference to one of the Joe Pickett series books from CJ Box.
