U.S. Marshall Lucas Davenport likes to hunt killers and when he comes across a multiple homicide at a drug counting house -- including a child -- he goes on a hunt for Gavin Poole, a killer who's been largely invisible for years. Trouble is, the cartel who in now short several million dollars also is looking for him and has dispatched their own hunters, who are not afraid to torture and kill anyone that might know him, including a sadistic woman known as the "Queen of home improvement tools." Plenty of action and witty dialogue, hallmarks of John Sandford's "Prey" series, await the readers as they join Lucas and two other marshals in chasing Poole and his accomplice across the South.
