Lucas
Davenport keeps doing what he does best, chasing the bad guy, in John Sandford’s
latest installment in the series. The
bad guy this time is Clayton Deese, a hired killer thought to cannibalize some
of his victims. As Clayton moves west to
join his brother’s home invasion outlaw gang in L.A., the FBI investigates
Clayton’s Louisiana home and finds several bodies buried in the swap behind his
house. Lucas now a U.S. marshal and his posse,
Rae Givens and Bob Matees join him in pursuit of Deese. They find Deese, his brother and their gang
but upon closing in, Lucas is shot and the gang (less two dead members) moves
on to Las Vegas. After a couple months
of convalescence, Lucas is back on the trail.
As the gang again feels the marshals closing in, they begin looking for one last
big score. But desperation leads to
bigger chances and a climbing body count.
If you are a
fan of John Sanford’s prey series, there’s nothing here not to like. The same old Lucas Davenport, rich in
lifestyle, clever in politics, and persistent in pursuit make for great
entertainment.
Thanks to
Netgalley for the advance look.
