Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford continues his phenomenal Prey series—and “for those who think they know everything they need to know about Lucas Davenport, [Field of Prey] proves them wrong…” (Huffington Post)
On the night of the fifth of July, in Red Wing, Minnesota, a boy smelled death in a cornfield off an abandoned farm. When the county deputy took a look, he found a body stuffed in a cistern. Then another. And another. By the time Lucas Davenport was called in, it was fifteen and counting, the victims killed over just as many summers, regular as clockwork.
How could this happen in a town so small without anyone noticing? And with the latest victim only two weeks dead, Davenport knows the killer is still at work, still close by. Most likely someone the folks of Red Wing see every day. Won’t they be surprised.

"One of the best, IMO, of Sandford's tales! Of course, most Sanford works are excellent reading. This one, full of suspense and horror, makes one wonder just how Mr. Sanford was able to research some of the awful things he weaves into this Detective Davenport book. It is a gripping story, with a surprise that I won't reveal. It's worth more than the price of the book, many times over, so I won't spoil the surprise. Get it!"
