It was compelling, interesting, suspenseful and full of good characters. Glad I read it! It kept me fully engaged all the way through. This was a very refreshing change to an adventure story. Serious topics mixed with humor.

A departure from my usual genres of choice. Another author in this genre I would recommend is the amazing Brett Arquette. The more things change the more they stay the same. The gov is now running for president, and he got a bad vibe off some people he met on the primary campaign trail in Iowa.

He fears that some whackos plan to do more than just vote for him and are going to assassinate the leading candidate of his party, Michaela Bowden. Davenport is soon tracing a network of political crackpots whose first instinct is to accuse him of being part of a federal conspiracy when he tries to talk to any of them.

This time the villains are a middle aged woman and her son whose hard economic circumstances as rural farm folks have convinced them that Bowden is part of a system that has been deliberately keeping them down. When they learn that Davenport is trying to find them they desperately try to divert and stall him until they can pull off their plan, and their methods include murder.

Once again Sandford delivers a tremendously satisfying thriller. One of the great things about his books is that they depend on the bad guys being clever, but there are no Insane McGeniuses pulling off Bond villain levels of schemes. Here, with a female presidential candidate campaigning in a time where an overworked sense of outrage and conspiracy theories have helped create an environment of seething political hatred that is immune to facts, logic, or common decency, we get a story that seems all too plausible.

However, Davenport blessedly remains pretty much apolitical with little interest in who gets elected or getting drawn into debates. You also have to give Sandford credit for being willing to shake up a winning formula this deep into a series.

Shifting Davenport from a big shot Minnesota cop who can make things happen by picking up a phone to a guy without a badge wandering around Iowa makes for him going through an interesting adjustment.

At times not being subject to the usual rules is an advantage he can use, but Lucas finds himself frequently frustrated with his lack of authority in these circumstances. My standard response is that most of the books are self-contained stories that can be read alone, but you will know how some events in previous Davenport books turned out from casual references.

There are also a couple that do act as direct sequels to earlier ones. Next: Lucas gets a new job in Golden Prey. I have read this series from the beginning and I am continually surprised at how much I still like them. Hard to keep a long running series fresh, but somehow Sandford manages to do just that. There were some I liked more than others, often due to the case not the writing. This one is timely as well, Davenport is no longer a cop but when a political candidate running for President is threatened, he is brought in as a special advisor.

Using his longtime friends, he manages to get information even though he is no longer privy to police information. So we enter the world of radical political groups, characters who are willing to do anything to stop the candidate they feel will be detrimental to their beliefs. I also love the subtle and not so subtle humor in these books and how the characters continue to grow and change, in their personal lives and private.

Very good series. James Thane. Author 7 books 6, followers. Following the events of the twenty-fifth book in this series, Gathering Prey , Lucas Davenport decided to hang up his spurs and leave his job at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. For the first time in years, and for the first time in this long-running series, Lucas is no longer a lawman of any kind. He's very contentedly spending the summer adding an addition to his cabin in Wisconsin, with the assistance of a carpenter named Jimi.

As if. The job is nearing completion when Lucas gets a call from his former boss, Minnesota Governor Elmer Henderson. Elmer is running for the presidency and is out in Iowa, campaigning for the state's upcoming Democratic party caucus. The leading contender for the Democratic nomination is a woman named Michaela Bowden, and truth to tell, Henderson doesn't expect that he can win the nomination. He's actually hoping that Bowden will pick him as her vice-presidential running mate.

Out on the trail, though, Henderson hears some disturbing news, suggesting that there may be an attempt on Bowden's life. Both campaigns, naturally, are knee-deep in security, but Davenport has always been Henderson's go-to guy when facing a difficult problem like this. Henderson convinces Davenport to come to Iowa and investigate. Lucas will have the assistance of various law enforcement agencies, but when push comes to shove, he's only a private citizen and the lack of a badge will cause him all kinds of complications that he never experienced before.

Lucas discovers an aging band of Iowa political radicals that have been protesting since the Sixties, and he comes to believe that some members of the group may actually have plans to assassinate Bowden. There are a couple of murders early on which muddy the waters, but which also convince Lucas that the assassination scheme is probably real.

Through the course of the book, Davenport races around the state of Iowa attempting to foil the scheme before it's too late. Sadly, though, he doesn't have the assistance of his old teammates like Del, Jenkins and Shrake. As always, there's a great deal of witty humor in and around a very serious series of crimes, and the tension ratchets up to a great and bloody climax.

I especially enjoyed this particular entry in the series because I lived for many years in Illinois, right across the river from Davenport, Iowa and graduated from the University in Iowa City.

I've driven about a million miles along these same Iowa roads, and it was great fun watching Lucas moving through such familiar territory. Living in western Illinois, I was also subjected every four years to the circus that revolves around the Iowa caucuses. For well over a year, presidential candidates inhabit the state and the local news media devote tons of newsprint and hour after hour of radio and television coverage to their appearances and exploits.

For months on end, the citizens of Iowa and western Illinois are barraged with ads for the various candidates, and so the story seemed very familiar in that regard as well. I can only wish that Lucas Davenport had been racing around during the real caucus season to provide some badly needed levity and intelligence to the scene. Naturally, the media in Iowa and western Illinois love this setup; they make millions of dollars every four years selling ads to the various candidates.

But the end result, of course, is that one very small state, which is not remotely representative of the nation as a whole, has a hugely outsized effect on the selection of a president. If only Davenport could have found a solution to that problem while he was on the job out in the Hawkeye State Checked out because 1 it was in large print, 2 I'm looking for non-torture-porn detective series for the mom, and she seems to not mind some of these factory mill books, and sigh 3 the exciting colors of the cover.

I needed something brainless while I recovered from The Trees so I decided to preview it for her last night. Don't take that personally if you love this series. Well-written for the genre but troubled by with several 'um, what? I checked to see what year this was written, so no excuses there, and it's set post , so it seems a startling blind spot. That said, I appreciated its pace.

Has a gay police officer who stood out in characterization from the others, so I'm a bit ambivalent about that. And was strangely not surprised when he was shot, perhaps because he was the only Iowan police character Sandford bothered to develop? Still, not bad for my generally low expectations of the genre. I look to these types of books Lee Child's Reacher, Robert Parker's Spencer, Connelley for mindless entertainment and tend to read more as palate cleansers or when I'm so busy that I want something undemanding.
