As a seasoned detective and deputy chief of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Davenport is no stranger to high-stakes investigations.

The cat-and-mouse game that ensues between the two is both thrilling and unpredictable, with Sandford expertly building tension and suspense throughout the novel.
