Following a suggestion of Hovey and Strickland, we study the category of $K(k) vee K(k+1) vee cdots vee K(n)$-local spectra. When $k = 0$, this is equivalent to the category of $E(n)$-local spectra, while for $k = n$, this is the category of $K(n)$-local spectra, both of which have been studied in detail by Hovey and Strickland. Based on their ideas, we classify the localizing and colocalizing subcategories, and give characterizations of compact and dualizable objects. We construct an Adams type spectral sequence and show that when $p gg n$ it collapses with a horizontal vanishing line above filtration degree $n^2+n-k$ at the $E_2$-page for the sphere spectrum. We then study the Picard group of $K(k) vee K(k+1) vee cdots vee K(n)$-local spectra, showing that this group is algebraic, in a suitable sense, when $p gg n$. We also consider a version of Gross--Hopkins duality in this category. A key concept throughout is the use of descent.
