Extreme Prey - John Sandford

Extreme Prey is the 26th novel in the the Prey series, featuring Lucas Davenport. It just came out on April 26th.

In the last Prey novel Lucas quit law enforcement. He's been busy working on his cabin on the lake, but not busy enough. When the governor calls him about a potential assassination plot, Lucas is more than willing to give up carpentry for investigating. The twist is the target of the plot is the governor's political rival. Lucas first has to determine if the plot is for real. Then he has to find the conspirators and stop them.

This is a riveting book. I was up past 02:00 both nights it took me to finish. If I could read novels like this all the time I might never get anything done. Very highly recommended, as are all of Sandford's books.
