What this book is about

A powerful bank executive is shot and killed during a hunting expedition in the Minnesota woods. Every one of his colleagues who was on the trip had reason to want him dead — and every one of them is skilled at concealment. Secret Prey is the ninth Lucas Davenport novel — the corporate-world milieu distinguishes it from the series' earlier serial-killer focus.
