Riassunto

A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford Having spent the past two years in hiding following a daring and successful heist, a big-time robber is back in Minneapolis chasing the opportunity for an even greater steal. The big Republican party convention is in a couple of weeks: thousands of people spending cash, which is flowing into a relatively inadequate Brinks warehouse, protected by only three or four armed guards. And if the robber can distract the cops with an alert to a possible assassination, it is his for the taking. Meanwhile, Lucas Davenport has his own problems. He is being targeted by a psychopathic pimp, who blames Davenport for the fact he's in a wheelchair. Only it's not Davenport he's going after; it's his daughter, Letty. ***READERS LOVE THE PREY SERIES*** 'John Sandford knows all there is to know about detonating the gut-level shocks of a good thriller' The New York Times Book Review 'The best Lucas Davenport story so far.
