Lucas Davenportβs first case as a U.S. Marshal sends him
into uncharted territory in the thrilling new novel in the
#1 New York Times-bestselling series.
The man was smart and he didnβt mind killing people.
Welcome to the big leagues, Davenport. Thanks to some veryinfluential people whose
lives he saved, Lucas is no longer working for the Minnesota
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, but for the U.S. Marshals
Service, and with unusual scope. He gets to pick his own
cases, whatever they are, wherever they lead him.
And where theyβve led him this time is into real trouble. A
Biloxi, Mississippi, drug-cartel counting house gets robbed,
and suitcases full of cash disappear, leaving behind five
bodies, including that of a six-year-old girl. Davenport
takes the case, which quickly spirals out of control, as
cartel assassins, including a torturer known as the βQueen
of home-improvement toolsβ compete with Davenport to find
the Dixie Hicks shooters who knocked over the counting
house. Things get ugly real fast, and neither the
cartel killers nor the holdup men give a damn about whose
lives Davenport might have saved; to them, heβs just another
large target.
Filled with his trademark razor-sharp plotting and some of
the best characters in suspense fiction, Golden Prey
is further reason why βSandford has always been at the top
of any list of great mystery writersβ (The Huffington
Post).
