A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford

He was the best at what he did. A chameleon, invisible... uncatchable. For how could you catch an invisible man

After a two-year break, Lucas Davenport is back on the force and his first job is dealing with state investigator Meagan Connell. Determined to prove a link between a series of particularly brutal attacks on women, Meagan is struggling to be taken seriously. The cops are wary of her, the public thinks she's too political, the feminists thinks she's sold out.

But the more Lucas looks into it, the more he suspects that Meagan is right to fear the worst. Somewhere out there, spying on his unknowing victims at their most intimate moments, lurks a killer of unusual skill and savagery—and he’s only just getting warmed up…

Life was work centered on the farm with hay being bailed each summer to feed the various farm animals. Fruit trees were also in abundance on their property. It was a good place to grow up.

Goodreads review by Heidi on June 23, 2024

As Mr. Sandford’s writing grows stronger, so does my infatuation with Davenport. In some ways, he reminds me of another lead police investigator I’ve also grown fond of, Reebus of Ian Rankin’s great series.

Goodreads review by Alex on July 02, 2021

Overhead, above the new green of the elms, nighthawks made their skizzizk cries, their wing-flashes like the silver bars of new first-lieutenants. Spring was shading into summer. The daffodils and tulips were gone, while the petunias spread across the beds like Mennonite quilts. This is the second of......more
