Lethal Prey

Lucas Davenport et Virgil Flowers unissent leurs forces pour traquer un tueur impitoyable qui fera tout pour que le passé reste enfoui, dans ce dernier thriller de l’auteur à succès n°1 du New York Times, John Sandford.
Doris Grandfelt, employée d’un cabinet comptable, a été brutalement poignardée à mort… mais personne ne savait exactement où le crime avait eu lieu. Son corps a été retrouvé le lendemain soir, abandonné au milieu d’un épais fouillis d’arbres le long de la bordure d’un parc urbain, à huit miles à l’est de Saint Paul, dans le Minnesota. Malgré les appels persistants de sa sœur jumelle Lara Grandfelt au Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, le tueur n’a jamais été retrouvé.
Twenty years later, Lara has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Confronted with the possibility of her own death, she’s determined to find Doris’s killer once and for all. Finally taking matters into her own hands, she dumps the entire investigative file on every true-crime site in the world and offers a $5 million reward for information leading to the killer’s arrest. Dozens of true-crime bloggers show up looking for both new evidence and “clicks,” and Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are called in to review anything that might be a new lead.
When one of the bloggers locates the murder weapon, Lucas and Virgil begin to uncover vital details about the killer’s identity. But what they don’t know is the killer lurks in plain sight, and with the true-crime bloggers blasting every clue online, the killer can keep one step ahead. As the nation maneuvers the detectives closer to the truth, Lucas and Virgil will find that digging up Doris’s harrowing past might just get them buried instead.
