Killing Lucas, Randy decides, would be too easy he’ll go after his family instead. From that point on Sandford expertly dramatizes a tug-of-war complicated by two wild cards: Oklahoma neo-Nazi sharpshooter Justice Shafer, who claims he’s just passing through, and cranked-up paraplegic Randy Whitcomb, a sociopath determined to wreak vengeance against Lucas, the man he holds responsible for ruining his life. Paul already detailed to the convention, it’s hard to know what to do-especially against lawbreakers who soon figure out that he’s onto them. Lucas Davenport, of Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension ( Phantom Prey, 2008, etc.), soon figures out what sort of violent, cold-hearted crooks he’s up against, but with every law-enforcement officer in Minneapolis–St. But all that changes when they’re forced to kill a suburban police officer.

Working with ex-cons Jesse Lane and Tate McCall, they start out small, with a series of hotel-room invasions aimed at walking-around money whose loss they assume won’t be reported to the law because it’s already illegal. So do supercriminal Brutus Cohn and Rosie Cruz, his partner in a scheme to rob the visiting delegates blind.


When you think Republicans, you think big money. The 2008 Republican National Convention sweeps into the Twin Cities, bringing in its wake a world of trouble for Lucas Davenport’s hometown.
