What this book is about

Lucas Davenport is in New York City — consulting on a case involving the murders of corrupt police officers. The killer seems to be targeting specifically bad cops. Lucas's investigation forces him to work with people he doesn't fully trust in a city he doesn't know. Silent Prey is the fourth Lucas Davenport novel — the New York setting differentiates it from the Minneapolis series.
