After the events of the last book, both Lucas and Virgil are recovering from their injuries, which for the most part have healed. When a wealthy federal judge, and his two sons, are murdered in their house, Lucas and Virgil are asked to help with the case. They have any number of potential suspects, but things keep coming back to the wife, Maggie. She has an alibi, and they don’t really think she did it, but they keep looking at her. They also look at a charity the judge was going to donate to, and find that it’s not as it seems, and then two employees are murdered, and now they have two cases to work, and wonder if they can be tied to each other. Then they think Maggie figures out who murdered her family, she won’t give up the name, and she is going to take matters into her own hands. They have to act fast in order to catch the killer, and stop her. Another great book in the series. I really like that they have novels now together, since John is also writing another series with the daughter of Lucas. The two characters have a great bromance, and it’s fun to read them. Fans of these characters will be happy.
You can pick up Judgement Prey in stores on Tuesday, October 3rd from Putnam.
