The Republicans, with their big convention in St. Paul, and Davenport is on safety considered. Political conventions money means, Lucas reasons, and money continues to attract bad guys. His veteran cop instincts rarely draw him wrong, and he has a bad feeling there.

Davenport is right, of course. Brutus Cohn is a criminal career, a high-end thieves and kidnappers in search of one last big score on which to retire. His team's findings on a number of streets for money men in the city, which will lubricate the cash assistance payments so that the wheels of the presidential campaign.

Wicked In Prey, Lucas found similar traits in Letty West, the 14-year-old he took to his house after she lost her mother in Naked Prey. Despite anger Lucas' stubborn streaks at Letty's, and he tends to turn out kind of massage events, so that they in their favor, he knows where they This acquired traits, and secretly approved.

While previous Prey novels have been severe, including measures (such as Lucas gets older and gains seniority, He is on the streets less), Sandford yet know how to build suspense. The tension snowballs as Randy gets closer to exacting revenge, his last start Cohn Shafer, and large predators lurking on the periphery of the Republican convention, ready to make a statement with his rifle.
