The
man was smart and he didn’t mind killing people. Welcome to the big
leagues, Davenport. 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.
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 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.
SOME COUPLES
