Read by Richard Ferrone. Danger stalks Lucas Davenport at work & all too close to home, in the superlative thriller by the number-one New York Times-bestselling author. The Republicans are coming to St. Paul for their convention. Throwing a big party is supposed to be fun, but crashing the party are a few hard cases the police would rather stayed away. Chief among them is a crew of professional stick-up men who've spotted several lucrative opportunities, ranging from political moneymen with briefcases full of cash to that convention hotel with the weakness in its security system. All that's headache enough for Lucas Davenport
- but what's about to hit him is even worse. A while back, a stray bullet put a pimp & petty thief into a wheelchair, & ever since, the man has been nursing his grudge into a full head of psychotic steam. He blames Davenport for the bullet, but it's no fun just shooting him. That wouldn't be painful enough. Not when Davenport has a pretty 14 year old adopted daughter whom he can target instead. & then there's the young man with the 50-caliber sniper rifle & the right-wing crazy background, roaming through a city filled with the most powerful politicians on earth...
