The 22nd in the Prey series. Davenport is called to the scene of a brutal torture/murder of an entire family. It looks like a drug murder...but this family seems squeaky clean. Soon it appears the husband's company was laundering drug money - 22 million of which is now missing, and the drug cartel wants it back. There's a little subplot with Davenport trying to find the tweakers who robbed him at an ATM. Mostly it's the same action-packed formula from Sandford, no surprises until the end. I confess I laughed out loud, as Sandford has elected not to have Davenport personally kill the bad guys, now he's giving Davenport's daughter a role. I thought about going back to see how many times Davenport's family has been threatened by killers...I think it's about 5. If it were me I'd live behind some gates, he's got the money. Ah well, it's a nice snappy read, still good entertainment.
