The night after the fourth of July, Layton Carlson Jr., of Red Wing, Minnesota, finally got lucky. And unlucky. He'd picked the perfect spot to lose his virginity to his girlfriend, an abandoned farmyard in the middle of cornfields: nice, private, and quiet. The only problem was…something smelled bad - like, really bad. He mentioned it to a county deputy he knew, and when the cop took a look, he found a body stuffed down a cistern. And then another, and another. By the time Lucas Davenport was called in, the police were up to fifteen bodies and counting. And as if that wasn't bad enough, when Lucas began to investigate, he made some disturbing discoveries of his own. The victims had been killed over a great many years, one every summer, regular as clockwork. How could this have happened without anybody noticing? Because one thing was for sure: the killer had to live close by. He was probably even someone they saw every day…

Murder. Scandal. Politics. And one billionaire heiress so dangerous in so many ways. An explosive Lucas Davenport thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford. All hell has broken loose in the capital. An influential state senator has been caught with something very, very nasty on his office computer. The governor can’t believe it—the senator’s way too smart for that, even if he is from the other party. Something’s not right. As Davenport investigates, the trail leads to a political fixer who has disappeared, then—troublingly—to the Minneapolis police department itself, and most unsettling of all, to a woman who could give Machiavelli lessons in manipulation. She has very definite ideas about the way the world should work—along with the money, ruthlessness, and cold-blooded will to make it happen.

Haunted by the unsolved kidnapping of two girls for twenty-five years, Minneapolis homicide detective Lucas Davenport faces a chilling return to the case when their bodies are discovered. This revelation plunges him into a dark and complex investigation that forces him to confront his deepest fears and the shadows of the past, revealing a nightmare that challenges his skills and resilience like never before.

The first body, that of a young woman, is found on a Minneapolis riverbank, her throat cut, her body scourged and put on display. Lucas Davenport, with the Minneapolis Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, knows that whoever did this is pushed by brain chemistry. There is something wrong with him. This isn’t a bad love affair.The second body is found three weeks later in a farmhouse six miles south. Same condition, same display—except this time it is a man. Nothing to link the two victims, nothing to indicate that the killings end here.“This guy…” Lucas says. He took a deep breath and let it out as a sigh. “This guy is going to bust our chops.” And soon he is going to do far, far worse than that…
