Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are up against a powerful vigilante
group with an eye on vengeance in the latest in the beloved series by
the #1 New York Times bestselling author.
"We're going to murder people who need to be murdered."
So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as "The
Five," shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco.
The Five is made up of vigilante killers who are very bored...and very
rich. They target the worst of society--rapists, murderers, and
thieves--and then use their unlimited resources to offset the damage
done by those who they've killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to
charities and victims via the dark net. The Five soon become popular
figures in the media ...though their motives may not be entirely pure.
After The Five strike again in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas
Davenport are sent in to investigate. And they soon have their hands
full--the killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no
apparent direct connection to the victims, the killers are virtually
untraceable. But if anyone can destroy this group, it will be the
dynamic team of Davenport and Flowers.
