Publisher Description

It begins and ends with a death. For months, Lucas Davenport's men have been tracking a vicious female bank robber named Candy, and when they finally catch up with her, she does not go quietly. In the ensuing shoot-out, she dies—and Davenport's nightmare starts, for her associates are even worse than she was, particularly her husband, a deeply violent man who swears an appropriate revenge: first he will find the names of those responsible; then he will kill those nearest and dearest to them, just the way they did Candy.

So it begins. The husband of one officer is shot and killed. The wife of another is ambushed at work. When a third attack is thwarted, the pattern becomes clear to Davenport, and with an urgency born of rage and terror, he presses the hunt, desperately trying to track down the killers before they can strike again, before they can reach out for Davenport's own loved ones. But in this effort, he may already be too late.

"I don't like the way that things are going with Weather in this one. But otherwise the book was good. It starts with a robbery by two women that are sisters in-law and they are killed by the police coming out. The brother and husband takes his revenge by going after the families of the police involved."

    — Publishers Weekly

  • “As always with Sandford, excellent writing is the icing on an enjoyable cake.”

    — Amazon.com, editorial review

  • “What could have been a routine psycho-killer-on-the-prowl caper is given a unique twist by the presence of a crooked cop, Stadic, whom LaChaise bribes for information about his prey…Fans of previous Sandford novels will be thrilled by the clever plotting and fully developed killers…Entertaining.”

    — Booklist

  • “[A] tightly-wound thriller…action packed.”

    — Library Journal

  • “Chilling…Complete with gross cop humor and villains who, for all their vicious resolve, have credibly redemptive traits: another winner for the accomplished Sandford and his growing legion of fans.”
