Theories abound when a Russian gets himself killed by the shore of Lake Superior near Duluth, Minnesota - shot with fifty-year-old bullets. "What's going on here?" When it turns out he had very high government connections back home, state troubleshooter Lucas Davenport gets the call. Well actually, Lucas and a mysterious Russian cop with secrets all her own. Together, they'll follow a trail back to another place and another time, and battle the shadows they discover there - shadows that turn out to be both very real and very deadly. "One of the strongest in Sandford's Prey series" says 'Entertainment Weekly.' "Good, dark, perverse, bloody fun," adds 'The Washington Post Book World.'
