Mortal Prey is the latest thrilling page-turner in John Sandford's highly acclaimed Prey series. Years ago, Lucas Davenport almost died at the hands of Clara Rinker, a pleasant, soft-spoken, low-key Southerner, and the best hitwoman in the business. Now retired and living in Mexico, she nearly dies herself when a sniper kills her boyfriend, the son of a local druglord, and while the boy's father vows vengeance, Rinker knows something he doesn't...the boy wasn't the target—she was—and now she's going to have to disappear to find the killer herself.
