Lucas
Davenport's
boss
is
about
to
lose
her
job
as
chief
of
police,
his
fiancée
is
distracted
with
wedding
plans,
and
his
house-remodeling
project
is
at
a
standstill.
So
when
the
FBI
and
DEA
draft
the
Minneapolis
cop
to
head
off
hit
woman
Clara
Rinker's
bloody
murder
spree,
he's
glad
to
oblige.
The
lady
killer
and
the
killer
lady
have
tangled
before
in
Sandford's
Prey
series,
and
their
personal
history
seasons
this
fast-paced
story
of
mayhem,
murder,
and
revenge.
After
Rinker
barely
survives
an
assassination
attempt
that
destroys
her
unborn
baby
and
kills
her
lover,
the
son
of
a
Mexican
drug
lord,
she
sets
out
to
destroy
the
mobsters
who
ordered
the
hit,
a
journey
that
brings
her
into
Davenport's
sights
again
and
also
puts
him
back
in
action
alongside
a
woman
agent
with
whom
he
was
once
involved.
But
it's
the
grudging
respect
and
even
affection
Sandford
hints
at
between
Rinker
and
Lucas
that
takes
this
crisp,
confident
thriller
beyond
the
limitations
of
the
genre
and
makes
the
characters
flesh-and-blood
human
beings.
A
standout
in
a
terrific
series!

A

killing.

Like
the
best
writers
in
this
genre...Sandford
evokes
his

authentic-sounding
dialogue

meticulous
details.
