Description

Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are up against a powerful vigilante group with an eye on vengeance in this thrilling novel in the beloved series by the #1 New York Times bestselling author.

“We’re going to murder people who need to be murdered.”

So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as “The Five,” shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco. The Five is made up of vigilante killers who are very bored…and very rich. They target the worst of society—rapists, murderers, and thieves—and then use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by those who they’ve killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the dark net. The Five soon become popular figures in the media …though their motives may not be entirely pure.

After The Five strike again in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport are sent in to investigate. And they soon have their hands full--the killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection to the victims, the killers are virtually untraceable. But if anyone can destroy this group, it will be the dynamic team of Davenport and Flowers.

    Typical Flowers/Lucas read, a little too preachy for my TX psyche.

    A righteous romp featuring JS’s main two protagonists teamed up again; criss-crossing the country in pursuit of the bad guys. Sanford has managed, once more, to cook up a plausible criminal plot line. Keeping it current and engaging, with recent social and political issues being showcased. It’s astounding, really, that he can still reach into the well and and fabricate enough evil malice to keep Davenport and Flowers relevant and exciting. Can’t wait for the next one! Timothy Eddy

    The author has turned my favorite series into a grandstand for his political ideology. WOR a conspiracy theory radio? That would be funny if it weren’t so idiotic. Anyway, I’ve read my last Davenport novel…kinda makes me sad.

    Ok thriller. Sandford lets his left wing views take up to much time.

    This book turned out to be a political statement on gun control. Disappointing Liberal agenda packaged as a book. For me the title is Last Prey.
  • They never get old!

    Sandford’s knack for weaving a masterful story with witty humor and gritty detail make this Prey story another phenomenal read. Lucas and Virgil again win the day. Well done!
