Clara Rinker is twenty-eight, beautiful, charmingly southern—and the best hit woman in the business. She just goes about her business, collects her money, and goes home. Her latest hit sounds simple: a defense attorney wants a rival eliminated. No problem—until a witness survives. Clara usually knows how to deal with loose ends: cut them off, one by one, until they're all gone. This time, there’s one loose end that’s hard to shake.

Lucas Davenport has no idea of the toll this case is about to take on him. Clara knows his weak spots. She knows how to penetrate them, and how to use them. And when a woman like Clara has the advantage, no one is safe. Crime Fiction Thriller & Suspense Mystery Suspense Crime Police Procedural Fiction

I love John Sandford's Prey books, especially the narrated versions because Richard Ferrone is awesome.
One of the reasons I like this book because it introduces Clara, a complex and memorable character. The part about the story I don't care for is the woman who hired Clara. She was a real piece of work. She changed her mind all the time and I was disappointed that Clara went with her crazy ideas so often. Other than that, this is another case where Lucas Davenport goes after the killer with a vengeance. His stubbornness is classic in this book: he suspected the source of all this killing before others saw it. Worthy addition to the Prey series.

Of all 24 novels this was the first one I read before I chose to read rules of prey. I loved this one as a stand alone book in the series I believe the whole series is worth a listen if you want a real hero type detective

The very best

I'm binge listening the series since I've read/listened to every book. And of all of them, this one and one other are my favorites. I love the character Clara Rinker and how her and Davenport interacted. Loved this book.

This is my favorite

The story was exciting and the characters were believable with the ending in doubt until the last page. I enjoyed the technical details right down to the muzzle flash of a .45.

The female of the species.
