    About this ebook

    A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford

    Lucas Davenport knows why people kill. Some do it for thrills. Some do it for profit. Some do it because they must. But when his team guns down two bank robbers in the middle of a heist, Davenport falls prey to the purest, simplest criminal motivation of all: revenge.

    Dick LaChaise is the husband of one of the dead bank robbers and brother to the other. He wants Davenport to suffer as he has.

    So he's not going after Davenport himself… he's going after his family.

    'The best Lucas Davenport story so far. The man has a fine touch for outlaws' Stephen King on Golden Prey

    'Sandford’s trademark blend of rough humor and deadly action keeps the pages turning until the smile-inducing wrap-up, which reveals the fates of a number of his quirky, memorable characters' Publishers Weekly on Golden Prey
