The Investigator

By John Sandford
The Investigator by John Sandford digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Letty Davenport, the brilliant and tenacious adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes the investigative reins in the newest thriller from #1 bestselling author John Sandford.
 
“Sandford fans rejoice! Davenport next generation has arrived and Letty is exactly the kind of cool-eyed, smart-mouthed, lethally dangerous heroine we’ve been waiting for.” --Lisa Gardner, author of One Step Too Far

By age twenty-four, Letty Davenport has seen more action and uncovered more secrets than many law enforcement professionals. Now a recent Stanford grad with a master’s in economics, she’s restless and bored in a desk job for U.S. Senator Colles. Letty’s ready to quit, but her skills have impressed Colles, and he offers her a carrot: feet-on-the-ground investigative work, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security. 
 
Several oil companies in Texas have reported thefts of crude, Colles tells her.  He isn’t so much concerned with the oil as he is with the money: who is selling the oil, and what are they doing with the profits? Rumor has it that a fairly ugly militia group might be involved. Colles wants to know if the money is going to them, and if so, what they’re planning. 
 
Letty is partnered with a DHS investigator, John Kaiser, and they head to Texas.  When the case quicky turns deadly, they know they’re on the track of something bigger.  The militia group has set in motion an explosive plan . . . and the clock is ticking down.

“Letty is not what I was expecting, but what this story needed. A lot of information in beginning but pretty interesting and once the story got moving I was hooked. Liked learning about the oil scene in Texas and that there’s a hot spot of oil that’s freaking bigger than Utah in size WTH. Felt very ingenious and a new, refreshing look on investigative stories. Not my typical pick but will def be continuing the series.. Already feel connected to Letty and these characters. I need to know what happens to Jael!! Also, since I went shooting once I’m ulta impressed with their perfect shooting abilities hahah.. It is NOT easy”
“the general story and premise was good but reading it felt like being trapped at a memorial day bbq with your boomer uncle talking about the second amendment. when i read the line “i’m going to take a movie with my cell phone” i nearly threw this across my living room and then again with “iPhone AirPods””
