Description: The Republicans have descended on Minneapolis for their convention and crashing the party are a few hard cases the police would rather stayed away. Chief among them is a crew of professional stick-up men who've spotted several lucrative opportunities, ranging from political moneymen with briefcases full of cash, to that convention hotel with the weakness in its security system. All that's headache enough for Lucas Davenport - but what's about to hit him is even worse. Pimp and petty thief Randy Whitcomb blames Davenport for the stray bullet that put him in a wheelchair. But he's not going for Davenport himself. Not when he has a pretty, fourteen-year-old daughter that Whitcomb can target instead. And then there's the young man with the .50-caliber sniper rifle and the right-wing-crazy background, roaming through a city filled with the most powerful politicians on earth ...
