Two people are found hanging naked from a tree in the woods of northern Minnesota. What makes the situation particularly sensitive is the bodies are of a black man and a white woman. Lynching is the word everyone's trying not to say, but as Lucas Davenport begins to discover, the murders are not at all what they appear to be. And there is worse to come-much, much worse. "All but impossible to put down."-The Washington Post "Fast paced and full of surprises, this may be Sandford's best novel yet."-Library Journal 1 Thursday night, pitch black, blowing snow.Heavy clouds, no moon behind them. The Buick disappeared into the garage and the doorstarted down. The big man, rolling down the highway ina battered Cherokee, killed his lights, pulled into thedriveway, and took the shotgun off the car seat. Thesnow crunched underfoot as he stepped out; the snowwas coming down in pellets, rather than flakes, and theystung as they slapped his warm face. He loped up the driveway, fully exposed for a moment,and stopped just at the corner of the garage, in ashadow beneath the security light. Jane Warr opened the side door and steppedthrough, her back turned to him as she pulled the doorclosed behind her. He said, “Jane.” She jumped, her hand at her throat, choking down ascream as she pivoted, and shrank against the door.

He stayed with her, tracking her with the shotgun,and he said, slowly, as if speaking to a child, “Jane, this isa shotgun. If you scream, I will blow your heart out.” She looked, and it was a shotgun all right, a twelvegaugepump, and it was pointing at her heart. She madeherself be still, thought of Deon in the house. If Deonlooked out and saw them . . . Deon would take care ofhimself. “What do you want?” “Joe Kelly.” They stood for two or three seconds, the snow pelletspeppering the garage, the big man’s beard goingwhite with it. Then, “Joe’s not here.” A hint of assertionin her voice—this didn’t involve her, this shotgun. “Bullshit,” the big man said. He twitched the muzzleto the left, toward the house. “We’re going inside to talkto him, and he’s gonna pay me some money. I don’twant to hurt you or anybody else, but I’m gonna talk toJoe. If I have to hurt the whole bunch of you, I will.” He sounded familiar, she thought. Maybe one of theguys from Missouri, from Kansas City? “Are you one ofthe Kansas City people? Because we’re not . . .” “Shut up,” the big man said. “Get your ass up thesteps and into the house. Keep you...
