Mystery Fairly solid outing in this newest outing in the Prey series, with minimal cop talk (not good) and a small appearance by that fuckin' Flowers (good).

But this is a seriously upscale town, and the husband was an executive vice president at a big bank. It just doesn't seem to fit. Until it does. And where it leads Lucas will take him into the darkest nightmare of his life"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
