Publisher Description
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 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. The militia group has set in motion an explosive plan . . . and the clock is ticking down.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Best-selling author John Sandford gives the daughter of his long-running hero Lucas Davenport a smart, intense thriller of her own. Not only is Letty Davenport a crack shot, she’s also picked up her dad’s skills as a detective. She’s working for the Department of Homeland Security when an investigation into crude oil thefts in the West Texas fields leads her to a well-organized right-wing militia group—and their dangerous plan to deal with undocumented immigrants. Sandford’s heroine packs a ton of skill and determination into her small frame, and we loved following her as she maneuvers through the twists of this suspenseful plot. It all builds to a perilous climax, which narrator Richard Ferrone attacks with plenty of grit. This thriller is a gripping listen that’s powerfully relevant to today’s headlines.

I gave up 1/2 way through…
Not good.
Gave up. Insufferable.
Awesome
I thought the story about our border crisis and extremism was very well timed based on our current situation.
