<b>The extraordinary new Lucas Davenport thriller from the #1 <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner.</b><br><br>“If you haven’t read Sandford yet, you have been missing one of the great summer-read novelists of all time.”—Stephen King, <i>Entertainment Weekly</i><br><br><b>Murder, scandal, political espionage, and an extremely dangerous woman. Lucas Davenport’s going to be lucky to get out of this one alive.</b><br><br>Very early one morning, a Minnesota political fixer answers his doorbell. The next thing he knows, he’s waking up on the floor of a moving car, lying on a plastic sheet, his body wet with blood. When the car stops, a voice says, “Hey, I think he’s breathing,” and another voice says, “Yeah? Give me the bat.” And that’s the last thing he knows.    <br> <br>Davenport is investigating another case when the trail leads to the man’s disappearance, then—very troublingly—to the Minneapolis police department, then—most troublingly of all—to a woman who could give Machiavelli lessons. She has very definite ideas about the way the world should work, and the money, ruthlessness, and sheer will to make it happen.<br><br>No matter who gets in the way.<br><br>Filled with John Sandford’s trademark razor-sharp plotting and some of the best characters in suspense fiction, <i>Silken Prey</i>  is further evidence for why the Cleveland <i>Plain Dealer </i>called the Davenport novels “a perfect series,” and <i>Suspense Magazine </i>wrote, “If you haven’t read any of the Prey series, you need to jump on board right this second.”
