Lucas Davenport encounters an old nemesis, in the chilling new novel by the number-one- bestselling author.
Over the last thirteen years, John Sandford has become not only one of our greatest- selling suspense writers, but "one of the most skilled thriller writers at work in this country or any other" (Richmond Times- Dispatch). "You know life is good when have a new Lucas Davenport thriller to you escape into," wrote the Chicago Tribune- and Mortal Prey proves it again.
Years ago, Davenport almost died at the hands of Clara Rinker, a pleasant, soft- spoken, low-key southerner, and the best hit woman in the business. Now retired and
ng in Mexico, she herself nearly dies n a sniper kills her boyfriend, the son of cal druglord, and while the boy's father owes vengeance, Rinker knows something he doesn't: The boy wasn't the target-she was-and now she is going to have to dis- appear to find the killer herself.
The FBI drafts Davenport to help track Rinker down, and his fiancée, deep in wed- ding preparations, is really just as happy to get him out of her hair-but he has no idea what he's getting into. For Rinker is as unpredictable as ever, and between her, her old bosses in the St. Louis mob, the Mexican druglord, and the combined, sometimes warring, forces of U.S. law enforcement, this is one case that will get more dangerous as it goes along. And when the crossfire comes, anyone caught in the middle won't stand a chance.
Of John Sandford's last novel, Chosen Prey, the Los Angeles Times wrote, "The reading is great. The wit and imagination never flag; the cops are effective and fun; the prose is absorbing and the suspense consistent." USA Today called it "terrific, packed with detail and attitude and real characters." And Kirkus Reviews said simply, "Spellbinding? You bet."
Mortal Prey is even better. Filled with the rich characterization and exceptional drama that have become his hallmarks, it is Sandford's most suspenseful novel yet— high-octane all the way.
