A Prey Novel

Sandford J: Lethal Prey

Lethal Prey

Lucas Davenport tracks a prolific serial killer in this nail-biting #1 New York Times-bestseller from John Sandford. Clayton Deese looks like a small-time criminal, muscle for hire when his loan shark boss needs to teach someone a lesson. Now, seven months after a job that went south and landed him in jail, Deese has skipped out on bail, and the U.S. Marshals come looking for him. They don't much care about a low-level guy--it's his boss they want--but Deese might be their best chance to bring down the whole operation. Then, they step onto a dirt trail behind Deese's rural Louisiana cabin and find a jungle full of graves. Now Lucas Davenport is on the trail of a serial killer who has been operating for years without notice. His quarry is ruthless, and--as Davenport will come to find--full of surprises . . .

A Novel

Trad Wife

Some holes can't be filled. Some evils can't be explained.
Mick Enderson walks among us, a man hiding in plain sight, chasing a feeling he can't name and a hunger he can't silence. Whispers of vanished lives shadow his every step, while a sinister presence lingers at the edge of his conscience, urging him deeper into the dark.
As bodies disappear and fear grows, a relentless detective and a conflicted priest find themselves drawn into a chilling cat-and-mouse pursuit, each step revealing uncomfortable truths about the nature of evil, and the thin line that separates salvation from damnation.
A psychological thriller soaked in dread and moral ambiguity, this is not a story about justice. It's a story about what we refuse to see, until it's far too late.

Nightshade

A brutal murder. A community shocked. A suspect proclaiming his innocence. To the homesteaders in this untamed land of Dakota Territory, what affected one of them affected all of them. And the motive shook them to their core. 
As the years slipped into decades and then into a new century, new questions arose, spurred by the unusual placement of a grave in a country cemetery. Who was this woman and why was she buried so far away from the others? So lonely.
An investigation by the author opened the doors that led to the answers to multiple questions that family members of the victim and killer had been asking for years. 
The true story of an old murder that still makes people gasp and the continuing compassion of a community that never stopped caring.
In addition to a riveting story of a homicide in the old West from more than a century ago, the book includes courtroom drama and also examines the conditions and stresses that contributed to violence in the pioneer days.

The Final Score

One honest answer changed everything.

Fresh out of medical school, a young doctor applies to the U.S. Army Medical Corps, expecting a safe posting and a chance to serve. On a routine form, he reveals he reads and speaks Russian. Within days, his life is changed forever.

Flagged by military intelligence, he is invited to have dinner with two men who vaguely share they are "with the Department of Defense." What begins as an interview becomes recruitment. What begins on land, races toward open water and pulls him into a covert Cold War operation no one can know exists.

From the shattered legacy of the Battle of Leningrad to the frozen dangers of the Bering Sea, the mission hurtles across borders and oceans, into enemy territory and the deepest shadows of the Iron Curtain. What begins as a rescue mission turns into a life and death pursuit where the doctor must rely on his medical training, his mastery of language, and his instincts to survive.

Fast-moving and packed with suspense, this high-stakes spy thriller delivers a clandestine adventure on the high seas where secrets kill, loyalty is lethal, and one man's knowledge could tip the balance of the Cold War.

PRAISE FOR THE SHATTERED CURTAIN: 
"A sweeping Cold War drama that transports readers from the tense corridors of Agency headquarters to a spy ship in the icy Bering Sea, through perilous encounters with the Soviet Navy, and deep behind the Iron Curtain. The author's command of aeronautical and nautical detail, combined with an insider's grasp of Russian language, espionage tactics, and CIA-KGB maneuvering, infuses the novel with authenticity. The result is a fast-paced, atmospheric thriller that blends action, history, and intrigue in equal measure."-Captain William Uberti, Captain USCG (Ret), Past Adjunct Professor of History, Central Texas College; Served aboard USCG Cutter, Decisive, participating in numerous hazardous weather rescues."Conroy spins a rip-roaring Cold-War yarn in the best tradition of Graham Greene and John le Carré. Set in the frigid waters between Alaska and Eastern Siberia, the novel tells a deeply human story while also capturing a tense game of cat and mouse between the CIA and KGB."¿Andrew Wachtel, Ph.D. World-renowned specialist in the culture and history of Russian, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia; acclaimed academic administrator, currently creating the pilot campus for Vision University, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
