Description

Letty Davenport, the tough-as-nails adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes on an undercover assignment that brings her across the country and into the crosshairs of a dangerous group of hackers.

Letty Davenport’s days working a desk job at are behind her. Her previous actions at a gunfight in Texas—and her incredible skills with firearms—draw the attention of several branches of the US government, and make her a perfect fit for even more dangerous work. The Department of Homeland Security and the NSA have tasked her with infiltrating a hacker group, known only as Ordinary People, that is intent on wreaking havoc. Letty and her reluctant partner from the NSA pose as free-spirited programmers for hire and embark on a cross country road trip to the group’s California headquarters.

While the two work to make inroads with Ordinary People and uncover their plans, they begin to suspect that the hackers are not their only enemy. Someone within their own circle may have betrayed them, and has ulterior motives that place their mission—and their lives—in grave danger.

    5 Stars. Sanford is just plain great. Never fails. Lucas is Lucas but Letty is definitely becoming a force of her own. This was a true thriller. The story was compelling. Feeling as though it could have been completely real. This crew is developing into one that can give Virgil and Lucas’ group all they can handle. I only wish Sanford started writing Letty stand alone’s sooner. I think the next Lucas book is actually a Lucas and Letty book. Inject it into my veins.
  • Enjoy Sanford,s Books

    I don’t agree with others who wouldn’t give this book five stars….this is one of his best and I’ve red them all over the years. So many anxious moments as the plot unfolds and turns corners. Keep up the great story telling my young man…
  • Excellent read!

    As a reader of every one of the Lucas And Virgil (and Kidd) novels, I hold Letty to a very high standard. I was very pleasantly surprised that I loved the first Letty novel and this one somehow continues to uphold the standard.
  • Just like the last Letty book

    Same ol same ol. Some entity against the government, big shootout, the end. Skip this one if you’re a Sandford fan.
  • Slow!

    Drags out a short story. First Sanford book I didn’t like, and I’ve ready nearly all of them.
  • Worth reading

    Did John Sandford really write this? I’ve read at least 3 dozen of his other books and they’ve all been outstanding, but this one was stupid, had poor character development, and an idiotic plot line. I guess no one is perfect…
  • SO good!!

    I’ve read all of John Sandfords books, but couldn’t even finish this one. Started out good, but the characters and plot became so convoluted I had to stop. Hoping next book I better.

    I’ve read just about all of Sanford’s books and this is quite possibly the best. The best action movie and the best dialogue you’ve ever read. Highly recommended!

    Good read but very boring in parts. Not fan of Letty as a character.
  • Exquisitely good...

    Those who read the first Letty book may be a little nervous about trying out a second one. Although **I** liked the first one, other Sandford fans in the family didn't. Rest assured, Sandford has hit his stride with this second book. Out of all the Davenport/Flowers books, this one easily ranks among his best efforts. Not sure if more Letty books are planned, but if he does, Sandford has introduced a solid set of new characters to build great stories upon.
  • Sharply Written, Vintage Sandford

    As is usually the case with a John Sandford novel, this crisply written second Letty Davenport book brings together all of the things you love about his work: a relevant and timely plot, good character development and sharp dialogue. Does anyone do snappier dialogue better than Sandford? Highly recommended and particularly connected to the current state of affairs.
