Because of his expertise handling a previous case and his
accomplished reputation, Minnesota BCA agent Lucas
Davenport has been appointed to the U.S. Marshals Service
with a great degree of flexibility in choosing his cases.
The first one that attracts his attention involves the
murders of five men and a little girl during the theft of
over five million dollars from a Honduran drug cartel
counting house in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Garvin Poole and his Dixie Hicks are the main suspects, but
rumors abound that Poole, a ruthless killer, was murdered
by a rival, since he hasn't been heard from in several
years. The more Lucas learns about Poole, the more certain
he is that Poole is still alive and is the one responsible
for the heist and killings. The Honduras drug cartel is
also convinced that Poole is the culprit, so enforcers
Charlene Kort and Luis Soto are sent to retrieve the stolen
money and dispense brutal justice to the thieves. Their
involvement further complicates an already convoluted
investigation for Lucas and the multitude of law
enforcement agents he's accumulated for the intense and
far-reaching operation. Lucas is a highly intelligent
investigator, who's addicted to action and thrives under pr
pressure. He will definitely need all of these attributes
to apprehend the deviously elusive Poole and his comrades.
I can't believe this is the 27th book in best-selling
author John Sandford's engaging, suspenseful and
thrilling

Lucas Davenport’s 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 didn’t 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 they’ve 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 “Queen
of home-improvement tools” 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, he’s 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 “Sandford has always been at the top
of any list of great mystery writers” (The Huffington
Post).
