Synopsis

In John Sandford's thrilling 'Righteous Prey,' Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers find themselves confronting a sophisticated and dangerous vigilante group known only as 'The Five.' Composed of incredibly wealthy and bored individuals, The Five target society's most heinous criminals—rapists, murderers, and thieves—executing them with meticulous planning. What sets them apart is their unique modus operandi: after each killing, they funnel untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the dark web, ostensibly offsetting the harm caused by their targets. This highly public yet elusive group quickly garners media attention and public fascination, though their true motivations may not be entirely benevolent. When The Five extend their deadly campaign to the Twin Cities, Davenport and Flowers are dispatched to investigate. They face a formidable challenge as the killings are expertly choreographed, leaving no direct connections to the perpetrators. As the dynamic duo delves deeper, they must employ all their skills to unmask and dismantle this shadowy organization before their brand of justice spirals out of control.

Critical Reception
