What this book is about
A standalone thriller by John Sandford (2006) featuring Jake Winter, a Washington troubleshooter sent to investigate when a sitting senator disappears in Virginia. The investigation uncovers a conspiracy involving militia groups, Southern racism, and political ambition. A departure from Sandford's usual Prey series that showcases his ability to write compelling standalone political thrillers.
