The new Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers novel from Number One bestselling author.

‘We’re going to murder people who need to be murdered.’

A group of vigilantes known only as ‘The Five’ are targeting the worst of society - rapists, murderers and thieves - and they 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 Web. Soon, they are the most popular figures on social media … but their motives may not be entirely pure.

After a woman is murdered in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport are sent to investigate. The killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection to the victims, The Five are virtually untraceable. But if anyone can stop The Five, it will be Davenport and Flowers.
