The 33rd book in the Lucas Davenport series is excellent. One of the best.

In Judgment Prey (2023) Davenport and Flowers are brought in to help with the investigation of the murder of a federal judge and his two young sons.

As they track down various suspects, they aren’t getting very far.

With each potential lead flawed, Davenport and Flowers are determined to chase every theory until they figure out who killed the Sands. But when they find themselves being stonewalled by the most unlikely of forces, the two wonder if perhaps each misdirection could lead them closer to the truth.
