Lucas Davenport is no longer working for the state police, thanks to his very powerful friends, he is a U.S. Marshal. Not only is Lucas a Marshal, but he get's to pick and choose his own cases. When a drug cartel stash house is attacked and robbed, five people, including a child, are murdered. Making the case even more interesting is that the fingerprints of one of the most wanted men is found at the crime scene. Now Lucas is involved in chasing the guy down and quickly discovers that the cartel is also after his suspect. The people Lucas talks too or is planning to talk too keep dropping like flies in a very painful way. Now Lucas makes it his mission to stop the murders. Too bad these people don't know who they are messing with.
It is nice to have Lucas Davenport back and in the field kicking butt where those before him we unable too. GOLDEN PREY is exciting and full of characters you never want to meet. The good news is with Lucas on the case no one else will ever have to suffer at their hands.
John Sanford keeps putting out good Lucas Davenport books and GOLDEN PREY is no exception. Excitement, sick bad guys, and good police work are always a good read. I love the way he digs into a case and solves it by working the case step by step. As long as Sanford keeps writing Davenport I will keep reading them.
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 very influential 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).
