En savoir plus sur le livre
In the 10th installment of the Prey series, Lucas Davenport faces a pair of cunning killers. Attorney Carmel Loan is beautiful, intelligent, and ambitious, and her infatuation with fellow barrister Hale Allen leads her to orchestrate a hit on his wife, Barbara. The assassin, Clara Rinker, is a top Mafia hit person, smart and unassuming, who believes the job will be easy money. However, complications arise when Loan's ex-client, who recorded their meeting, begins to extort her for money. The situation escalates further when a witness, a police officer, is shot, bringing deputy inspector Davenport into the investigation. He quickly connects Loan to the murder and seems to be closing in on Rinker as well. In a desperate bid to eliminate any loose ends, Loan and Rinker team up to deal with Davenport by any means necessary. As with Sandford's previous works, this installment offers a fast-paced, thrilling ride. While some plot elements may stretch credibility and the dialogue can falter, the narrative remains engaging. Fans will find Davenport a bit older and warier, yet still sharp-witted and determined. This installment solidifies Sandford's reputation among the genre's best.
