Letty Davenport, the brilliant and tenacious adopted daughter
of Lucas Davenport, takes the investigative reins in the newest thriller from #1
bestselling author John Sandford.
"Sandford fans rejoice! Davenport next generation has
arrived and Letty is exactly the kind of cool-eyed, smart-mouthed, lethally
dangerous heroine we've been waiting for." — Lisa Gardner, author of
One Step Too Far
By age twenty-four, Letty Davenport has seen more action and uncovered more
secrets than many law enforcement professionals. Now a recent Stanford grad with
a master's in economics, she's restless and bored in a desk job for U.S. Senator
Colles. Letty's ready to quit, but her skills have impressed Colles, and he
offers her a carrot: feet-on-the-ground investigative work, in conjunction with
the Department of Homeland Security.
Several oil companies in Texas have reported thefts of crude, Colles tells
her. He isn't so much concerned with the oil as he is with the money: who is
selling the oil, and what are they doing with the profits? Rumor has it that a
fairly ugly militia group — led by a woman known only as Lorelai —
might be involved. Colles wants to know if the money is going to them, and if
so, what they're planning.
Letty is partnered with a DHS investigator, John Kaiser, and they head to
Texas. When the case quicky turns deadly, they know they're on the track of
something bigger. Lorelai and her group have set in motion an explosive plan . .
. and the clock is ticking down.
