Over the last thirteen years, John Sandford has become not only one of our greatest-selling suspense writers, but "one of the most skilled thriller writers at work in this country or any other" (Richmond Times-Dispatch). Mortal Prey proves it again. Years ago, Lucas Davenport almost died at the hands of Clara Rinker, a pleasant, soft-spoken, low-key Southerner, and the best hitwoman in the business. Now retired and living in Mexico, she nearly dies herself when a sniper kills her boyfriend, the son of a local drug lord, and while the boy's father vows vengeance, Rinker knows something he doesn't: The boy wasn't the target — she was — and now she is going to have to disappear to find the killer herself. The FBI and DEA draft Davenport to help track her down, and with his fiancée deep in wedding preparations, he's really just as happy to go — but he has no idea what he's getting into. For Rinker is as unpredictable as ever, and between her, her old bosses in the St. Louis mob, the Mexican drug lord, and the combined, sometimes warring, forces of U.S. law enforcement, this is one case that will get more dangerous as it goes along. And when the cross-fire comes, anyone standing in the middle won't stand a chance. . . .Filled with the rich characterization and exceptional drama that are his hallmarks, Mortal Prey proves that John Sandford just keeps getting better.
