Judgment prey : a Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers novel
(Book)

Alex Sand and his two young sons are shot in cold blood. A wealthy federal judge, there's no short list of people who could have a vendetta against Sand, but the gruesome murders turn their St. Paul community on its head. Sand was on the verge of a major donation to a local housing charity, and with the money now in limbo, eyes suddenly turn to his grieving widow to see what she might do with the money. Margaret, distraught over the death of her family, struggles to move forward, and can't imagine how or why anyone would target her husband. With public pressure mounting and both the local police force and FBI hitting dead ends, Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are called in to find answers. Davenport and Flowers are determined to chase every theory until they figure out who killed the Sands. But when they find themselves being stonewalled by the most unlikely of forces, the two wonder if perhaps each misdirection could lead them closer to the truth.
