Oh joy! Oh rapture! Another great read!
I haven't read a Lucas Davenport novel for years. In fact, according to Google (and assuming you trust them and the permanance of Typepad), I haven't read one while I've been blogging.
"Been blogging" being relative, of course, but still, you know what I mean.
Any-the-who, this is a great read. Davenport is a wickedly smart dude. Avenging angel type, but more intellectual vs. physical. I picked this one up because of a WSJ article talking about how authors are having a hard time as their aging protagonists challenge how to keep the stories still relevant and filled with action. In this one, over half of the book is a prequel to the entire Davenport series. It's a new case that is related to his first case.
Very cool, very well written, great characters, you know the drill. If you like mystery/detective/murder with avenging detectives, worth the hardcover price methinks, your call on the Kindle.
