Old crimes cause new murder in this electrifying new novel from the No. 1 bestselling author.
Six months ago, Lucas Davenport tackled his first case as a statewide troubleshooter - and he reckoned one was plenty strange enough. That was before the Russian got killed. On the shore of Lake Superior a man named Vladimir Orslov is found dead - three holes in his head and heart. When it turns out the victim had very high government connections, that's when it really hits the fan.
A female Russian cop flies in from Moscow; Davenport flies in from Minneapolis; law enforcement and press types swarm the scene - and in the middle of it all there's another murder. Could the two be connected? What is the Russian cop hiding from Davenport? Is she really a cop at all? Why was the victim shot with fifty-year-old bullets?
Before he can find the answers, Davenport must follow a trail back to another place, another time, and battle the shadows he discovers there. Shadows that turn out to both very real and very deadly!
