Part of Lucas Davenport, book 28
First published 2018
Lucas Davenport knows Senator Taryn Grant is a killer. Years ago, when he was still with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, he investigated three murders he was certain she committed. Grant was a wealthy psychopath then, and now she sits in the U.S. Senate. Davenport predicted she would thrive in Washington. He was right. As a federal marshal with broad investigative powers, Davenport hears whispers about Grant's activities on the Senate Intelligence Committee. She's using her position and the contacts she's gained for personal advantage. The rumors suggest something darker. Davenport suspects Grant needs another killing to satisfy her psychopathic urges. Proving his suspicions will be harder than before. Grant wields real power now, making any investigation far more perilous. But Davenport and Grant have history. He knows what she is capable of, and he refuses to let their business remain unfinished. One of them will end this.
