Reviews"A domestic-terrorist plot gives the adopted daughter of storied U.S. Marshal Lucas Davenport her moment to shine. Generations may succeed generations, but Sandford's patented investigation/action formula hasn't aged a whit. Bring it on."-- Kirkus Reviews, " The Investigator is a procedural action thriller in which the technical sleuthing only heightens the tension. Letty is such a capable character, and Mr. Sandford such a fine tactician, it would seem incomprehensible and even cruel to deny readers a swift follow-up."-- Wall Street Journal "John Sandford created a winning formula with his furiously paced Prey novels, which star Lucas Davenport, a Minnesota detective turned U.S. marshal with a penchant for sharp dressing, high romancing and expert marksmanship. In T he Investigator he moves the chess pieces to a different board."-- New York Times "Sandford's first Letty Davenport novel is a violent, topical, fast-paced story that's sure to please action fans."-- Library Journal (starred review) "Readers are treated to Sandford's well-crafted prose, conversational but never chatty and charged with boisterous humor. A top-line thriller from one of thegenre's heavy hitters." -- Booklist "A domestic-terrorist plot gives the adopted daughter of storied U.S. Marshal Lucas Davenport her moment to shine.

SynopsisLetty Davenport, the brilliant and tenacious adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes the investigative reins in the newest thriller from #1 bestselling author John Sandford. "Sandford fans rejoice! Davenport next generation has arrived and Letty is exactly the kind of cool-eyed, smart-mouthed, lethally dangerous heroine we've been waiting for." --Lisa Gardner, author of One Step Too Far By age twenty-four, Letty Davenport has seen more action and uncovered more secrets than many law enforcement professionals. Now a recent Stanford grad with a master's in economics, she's restless and bored in a desk job for U.S. Senator Colles. Letty's ready to quit, but her skills have impressed Colles, and he offers her a carrot: feet-on-the-ground investigative work, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security. Several oil companies in Texas have reported thefts of crude, Colles tells her. He isn't so much concerned with the oil as he is with the money: who is selling the oil, and what are they doing with the profits? Rumor has it that a fairly ugly militia group might be involved. Colles wants to know if the money is going to them, and if so, what they're planning. Letty is partnered with a DHS investigator, John Kaiser, and they head to Texas. When the case quicky turns deadly, they know they're on the track of something bigger. The militia group has set in motion an explosive plan . . . and the clock is ticking down., Letty Davenport, the brilliant and tenacious adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes the investigative reins in the newest thriller from #1 bestselling author John Sandford.

Awesome book with great detail.
John Sanford has been one of my go-to authors for years. I started reading him when I lived in MN and enjoyed the local references. Now he has expanded to all over the country and it is always adds to the story how he incorporates the location where the story takes place. I can always see in my mind where they are and exactly what they are doing. The Investigator continues that tradition and was a real page turner. I highly recommend for anyone.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Excellent book
For those John Sandford fans of the Davenport series, you will want to read this first novel of Letty Davenport when she goes on her first solo investigation without her father’s help. It’s good reading and you won’t be disappointed. I’m very much looking forward to the Spring when the second novel featuring Letty comes out in print.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Left Wing Propaganda Disguised As Popular Fiction
It's well written, like all Sandford books, but it's just political fear mongering for the plot. His second book in a row like this. After 20+ years, I'm done.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
