The 27th book in the Lucas Davenport series; and just when you'd expect Sandford to be winding down the adventure, he ramps it up instead.
Following on the conclusion of Gathering Prey (2015), Davenport has finally had enough of internal politics in the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and walked away from his job. Since he's independently wealthy, he can afford to do so, and seems happy enough to spend his time remodeling his getaway cabin on the lake.
When his friend and mentor, Governor Elmer Henderson, calls from the Presidential campaign trail in Iowa to report disquieting encounters with some erstwhile supporters, Lucas agrees to assess the situation. But instead of being able to reassure Henderson, Lucas is soon convinced the amorphous threat is real. When people start dying, it doesn’t take Lucas long to identify possible suspects; but stopping a political conspiracy is a tall order for a man operating sans badge, back up or even a gun. Lucas finally figures out where and when the asasssins will strike ---who has never been in doubt --- but HOW they plan to pull it off in the middle of a massive public venue crawling with security is still a question --- and the clock is ticking.
A long-established series that still delivers is taking a new twist.
