Clayton Deese is a small-time hit man.  His last job didn't go as planned and he went to jail, but not for long.  He skipped out on bail and now the authorities are looking for him, hoping he can lead them to his boss.  But when multiple graves are found behind Deese's house, he becomes a lot more important.  Now everyone is looking for him, including U.S. Marshal, Lucas Davenport.  Lucas and his team trace Deese to Los Angeles and then Vegas, where he's now working with his brother's home invasion/burglary crew.  With the cops bearing down on them, loyalties within the crew are pushed to the limit and them some.  Another winner from Sandford.  The "Prey" novels are my absolute favorite.  They are fast moving, gritty and fun; the dialogue is sharp and witty.  If you haven't already read them, start at the beginning with "Rules of Prey" and soon you'll be eagerly awaiting the release of the next one, like I am.
