I hope once you finally get your hands on Deadline you'll share your take on it. I really do enjoy Sandford's writing - it's clean and crisp, and his plots are always inventive without stretching the bounds of credulity. I read his latest Lucas Davenport book a few months ago, Field of Prey, and it was another page-turner.
The Davenport series is always much darker than the Flowers series, and I enjoy them both. One of the fun parts of the Davenport series for me is the political stuff that gets into the mix - the fictional Democratic governor and the assorted other political operatives who show up in the stories - some real behind-the-scenes stuff about how decisions are made by the higher-ups in state government. And it's not very pretty. 
Sandford is the one American author that I'll break away from my beloved Scandinavians to read.
