Book #2 in the Letty Davenport Series

Readers of the book review of The Investigator here on ReviewThisReviews will remember who Letty Davenport is – the adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport from John Sandford's Prey novels. 


Now Letty returns in Dark Angel, Book 2 of 2 of what I suspect will be a continuing series. Fans of the Prey series starring Lucus will be delighted with the adventures of Letty Davenport.  As always, anything by John Sandford is an excellent read! 


Dark Angel Synopsis


Dark Angel book cover
In the first Letty Davenport novel, Letty proved herself as an investigator with incredible skills with firearms. Her actions drew the attention of several branches of the US government. Thus, the Department of Homeland Security and the NSA have now tasked her with infiltrating a hacker group intent on wreaking havoc. 


Letty and her reluctant partner from the NSA (Rod Baxter, a computer whiz) pose as free-spirited programmers for hire. They drive to Los Angeles, headquarters of the hacker group, and begin the process of getting accepted by the Ordinary People group in order to uncover their plans. 


Come to find out, the Ordinary People hacker group are not the real enemy. It seems the Russians have ulterior motives to eliminate the hacker group who have the ability to disrupt railway travel at a time when Russia is about to invade Ukraine. 


Summary


Letty and a couple friends from other government agencies become bodyguards to the Ordinary People group while the group works on the solution to hindering Russia's plans, thus putting their lives in grave danger. 


An exciting new Letty Davenport novel I highly recommend.

  1. This sounds like a novel that fans of not only John Sandford novels but also of the suspense and crime solving genres would really enjoy. I like that Sandford chose to make the Russian invasion of Ukraine central to the storyline.

  2. Your recommendations are always great. I'm looking forward to this one.

  3. Sounds like a plot straight out of the headlines of current day concerns. It is believable that a female would be skilled with firearms and/or computers. Therefore, it would make this a more desirable read than some crime/ detective type novels. Thanks for the review and recommendation!

  4. This sounds like an excellent book to read. The real life Ukraine situation is a total nightmare of course, just awful beyond words. Movies and books about hacking and under the radar espionage are some of my favorite to watch; anything to do with hacking (when you're on the receiving end) is infuriating, but in movies and books so darn interesting.

  5. Oh my, another book to put on my growing list. How come I can't read as fast as I add books? Oh well, I'd rather have a whole list of great books to read than grabbing something that I won't really enjoy! Thanks for the recommendation Pat.
