The Investigator

Letty Davenport, the brilliant and tenacious adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes the investigative reins in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from John Sandford. "Sandford fans rejoice! Davenport next generation has arrived and Letty is exactly the kind of cool-eyed, smart-mouthed, lethally dangerous heroine we´ve been waiting for." --Lisa Gardner, author of One Step Too Far By age twenty-four, Letty Davenport has seen more action and uncovered more secrets than many law enforcement professionals. Now a recent Stanford grad with a master´s in economics, she´s restless and bored in a desk job for U.S. Senator Colles. Letty´s ready to quit, but her skills have impressed Colles, and he offers her a carrot: feet-on-the-ground investigative work, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security. Several oil companies in Texas have reported thefts of crude, Colles tells her. He isn´t so much concerned with the oil as he is with the money: Who is selling the oil, and what are they doing with the profits? Rumor has it that a fairly ugly militia group might be involved. Colles wants to know if the money is going to them, and if so, what they´re planning. Letty is partnered with a DHS investigator, John Kaiser, and they head to Texas. When the case quicky turns deadly, they know they´re on the track of something bigger. The militia group has set in motion an explosive plan . . . and the clock is ticking down.
