Silken Prey by John Sandford

Silken Prey: A Novel by John Sandford --- 406 pages

In the latest of Sandford's best selling thrillers featuring Lucas Davenport of the Minnesota State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Sandford posits the theory that it takes a sociopathic personality to succeed in contemporary politics.

When a right wing Republican Senator is the target of a particularly vicious sex scandal on the eve of a too tight to call election, Lucas Davenport is tasked by the Governor for a quick and quiet investigation.

When Lucas discovers a possible link between the dirt that was planted on the Senator and a minor political operative who's suddenly dropped out of sight, he follows a trail that leads him to the inner circle of the Senator's Democratic opponent.

Fast-paced, tightly plotted, morally ambiguous; Sandford's books are totally addictive. Save this one for the weekend, because you won't put it down until you're done.
