Wicked Prey

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.
