Letty Davenport, the brilliant and tenacious
adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes the investigative reins in
the newest thriller from #1 bestselling author John Sandford.

“Sandford
fans rejoice! Davenport next generation has arrived and Letty is
exactly the kind of cool-eyed, smart-mouthed, lethally dangerous heroine
we’ve been waiting for.”--Lisa Gardner, author of One Step Too Far

By
age twenty-four, Letty Davenport has seen more action and uncovered
more secrets than many law enforcement professionals. Now a recent
Stanford grad with a master’s in economics, she’s restless and bored in a
desk job for U.S. Senator Colles. Letty’s ready to quit, but her skills
have impressed Colles, and he offers her a carrot: feet-on-the-ground
investigative work, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland
Security.

Several oil companies in Texas have reported thefts
of crude, Colles tells her. He isn’t so much concerned with the oil as
he is with the money: who is selling the oil, and what are they doing
with the profits? Rumor has it that a fairly ugly militia group—led by a
woman known only as Lorelai—might be involved. Colles wants to know if
the money is going to them, and if so, what they’re planning.

Letty
is partnered with a DHS investigator, John Kaiser, and they head to
Texas. When the case quicky turns deadly, they know they’re on the
track of something bigger. Lorelai and her group have set in motion an
explosive plan . . . and the clock is ticking down.
