Story
By age 24, Letty Davenport has seen more action and uncovered more secrets than many law enforcement professionals. Now a recent Stanford grad with a master’s in economics, she’s restless and bored in a desk job for US Senator Colles. Letty’s ready to quit, but her skills have impressed Colles, and he offers her a carrot: feet-on-the-ground investigative work, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security.

When Kidd - artist, computer whiz, and professional criminal - learns of a colleague's murder, he doesn't buy the official story: that a jittery security guard caught the hacker raiding the files of a high-tech Texas corporation. It's not what his friend was looking for that got him killed. It's what he already knew. For Kidd and LuEllen, infiltrating the firm is the first move. Discovering the secrets of its devious entrepreneur is the next. But it's more than a secret.... It's a conspiracy. And it's landed Kidd and LuEllen in the cross-hairs of an unknown assassin hellbent on conning the life out of the ultimate con artists....

Story
An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behavior from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver...a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense unless there's something hinky going on, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Publisher's Summary
But Dead Watch sets a whole new level.
Early morning, Virginia, and a woman is on the run. Her husband, a former U.S. Senator, has been missing for days. Kidnapped? Murdered? She doesn't know, but she thinks she knows who's involved, and why. And that she's next.
Hours later in Washington, D.C., a cell phone rings. The White House chief of staff needs Jacob Winter now. His chief investigator and an Army Intelligence veteran, Winter knows how to move quickly and decisively, but he's never faced a problem like this. The disappearances are bad, but when the blackened body shows up barbed-wired to a tree, Winter knows there is much worse to come. And soon enough, there is. Large forces are at work, determined to do whatever it takes to achieve their ends. Winter will have to use all his resources not only to prevail but also to survive. And so will the nation.
Critic Reviews
"Sandford...displays an insider's knowledge of political infighting and couples it with his skill at creating memorable characters working through the maze of a diabolical plot." (Booklist)

Great Story..fast paced
All I can say is I hope this is not the last we see of Jake Winter. This character has the makings of another Lucas Davenport. The story is fast paced and draws you in from the beginning. I was never dissapointed except at the end when it was over. I wanted more.

Music ruined this reading
The book is first class and one of John Sanford's best. I really enjoyed the story however.... the music was Inappropriate, irritating and loud. If you wear earphones to listen, be warned, the music will crack your eardrums. We don't need music when we read a book so why would anyone think we need it to listen to a great story? I took one star away from overall rating due to the music.

Political Thriller
This isn't your usual John Sandford "Prey" mystery. You might think it was written by a different man -- and it's great! Unlike many political thrillers, this one is easy to follow -- there are conspiracies and surprises -- but you never feel as though you got lost in a maze. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good whodunit.

another Riveting Sanford book
Every book of John Sanfords Ive listened to have been execellent, great Narration, Story and enough twists and turns to keep you entertained.
This book is no different. I think the book took a little longer than his others to get interesting but since this is a new character he needed to spend more time developing the characters.

One of Sandford's best. A great departure from the Prey books. Well written, easy to follow, likable hero, enough twists, but not too many, and good insight to Washington insider strategy. Excellent plot line. You don't have to be a Sandford fan to enjoy this book.

Not yet Lucas Davenport
I'm spoiled by the early Lucas Davenport stories. And they certainly began to deteriorate in later years, so it's probably good that he's starting a new character.
Maybe it was the harsh Minnesota winters, but Davenport seemed a much more dramatic and compelling character to me. This is a very good story, but lacks the darkness of the Davenport character which made him both good at his job and a fascinating mind to listen to.
Hope this gets better...........Sandford's early "Prey" series are some of the best thrillers ever.

Look forward to the next book
I listened to the Audible audio version of this book. I was hesitant based on some less favorable books, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. I liked it. This isn't a detective story, not really, as unlike Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowrs, Jake Winter is not a detective, but it is a murder mystery. What makes Dead Watch different is that the hero of our tale is an investigator/fixer in Washington DC with connections to the President's office. I thought it made for an interesting setting. I found the politics and intrigue facinating. I look foreard to more books in this series.
I did find Jake Winters himself a little lacking. He seemed very similar to Sandfords other characters. While I find Sandfords characters pretty much cut from the same cloth, I like the basic wireframe he bases them all on. And, Jake is no exception except he comes without the nuances and intricacies that make Sandfords other characters into real, well rounded, flawed people. I hope Jake develops more in subsequent books. With a little more oersonality and a good flaw or two, his story would be 5 stars.
I also thought the narrator did a great job!

Nearly as good as the Prey series
Listened to the Night Crew by Sandford and was somewhat disappointed. So I didn't start this listen with great expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. Jacob Winter is a character I wouldn't mind in a series. The late senator's wife was very unlikeable and Sanford could drop her if he'd prefer. Given what we're learning about the swamp in D.C. (and government in general), this storyline was very believable. Bring Jake back.
