      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.

    • „KALTES FIEBER“ FÄNGT DA AN, WO ALBTRÄUME AUFHÖREN. „Dieser Killer.“, sagte Lucas, atmete tief ein und ließ die Luft als Seufzer wieder aus der Kehle entweichen. „Dieser Killer wird uns noch die Hölle heiß machen.“ „John Sandfords Thriller sind nervenzerreißend und hochintelligent!“ PEOPLE „Sandfords Held ist ein Gegenmodell zu den meisten Krimipolizisten. Die sind oft einsam und hadern mit ihrem Job und ihrer Bezahlung, Davenport hingegen ist ein Porsche fahrender Womanizer, der keine finanziellen Probleme hat.“ Financial Times Deutschland „Der neue Davenport-Thriller ist einer der besten seit langem. Erstens ist er ein richtiger Whodunnit, bei dem der Leser bis zum Schluss mitfiebert. Zweitens bietet er alles, was Fans der Serie lieben: Davenports ironische Weltsicht, viel schwarzen Humor und wunderbare Schauplätze vom ländlichen Minnesota über das großstädtische Minneapolis bis zur gruseligen Architektur des Irrenhauses. Drittens gibt es als kleines I-Tüpfelchen noch Davenports Liste der 100. besten Rocksongs, die er für seinen iPod zusammenstellt.“
