Lucas Davenport has seen many terrible murder scenes. This is one of the worst. In the small Minnesota town of Wayzata, an entire family has been killed—husband, wife, two daughters, dogs.
There’s something about the scene that pokes at Lucas’s cop instincts—it looks an awful lot like the kind of scorched-earth retribution he’s seen in drug killings sometimes. But this is a seriously upscale town, and the husband was an executive vice president at a big bank. It just doesn’t seem to fit.
Until it does. And where it leads Lucas will take him into the darkest nightmare of his life.

"Can't ever say anything negative about a J. Sanford book, esp. any of the 'Prey' series. This newest one was good but somehow just seemed a bit too confusing with too many things going on at once. Still a good story but seems like these newer Prey stories don't have that bit of fear installed that has your heart racing and if reading home alone, a bit scared to look out your window, if indeed you live in this area!!" — Debbie (4 out of 5 stars)

If you haven’t read Sandford, you have been missing one of the great summer-read novelists of all time. Lucas Davenport, the policeman hero of the Prey novels, is a hard dude . . . but not without a sense of humor, and that makes him special. Sandford writes real-guy novels, but—judging by my wife and her sisters—real girls like him too.
“Sandford’s ability to sustain this perfect series…must be a cause of envy to other writers, but grateful readers greet the annual appearance of Minnesota cop Lucas Davenport with joy, then plan for a sleepless, page-turning night.”
“Sandford’s talent is such that this series never grows stale, or boring, or forgettable. As author and hero age, readers can hope that the best is yet to be.”
“Solid…Once again, Sandford smoothly blends action and suspense with a soupçon of humor.”
“The climactic gunfight is deeply satisfying, and the very last line of dialogue is perfect.”
“Sandford, as demonstrated by his latest novel, is an author for all seasons…Sandford continues to get better and better, topping himself with each successive work. I used to think that it was inevitable that he would ride his streak out at some point, but now I have my doubts. If you have never encountered Sandford or Davenport before, Stolen Prey will make you a believer—and a reader.”
" I've long been a fan of Sandford's books, and this one shows he is as good as ever. The story moves right along, the villains are nasty, the good guys victorious, and several exiting scenes, particularly toward the end. "
" The Lucas Davenport series is one of my all time favorites series. This book was a not the best, I had a little trouble actually staying focused and getting through the book, the story seemed to drag a bit. The ending made up for it, the connection btw Lucas and his adopted daughter was very moving. "
" As usual, another fast paced story with Lucas Davenport as the main character. Virgil Flowers has a small subplot that helps tie it all together. His novels are set in Minnesota, so I recognize some of the towns, landmarks and highways he uses. This is my favorite type of thriller/suspense novel. John Sanford has never been a disappointment, and I have quite a few left to read. "
" This one was very good. "
" Another great hard-to-put-down Lucas Davenport and company police thriller. And as a bonus we get another dose of Virgil Flowers! Interesting twists at the end. "
" John Sanford consistently writes really good books. Very readable. Great story. "
" I always love a good John sandford book. This was audio and done very well--great story, reminded me in lots of good ways of a Breaking Bad episode. "
" Solid as always. "
" Another great Lucas Davenport novel. Not extraordinary, but it scratched the Davenport itch. It's amazing that Sandford hasn't run out of gas on this series. "
" I really enjoy all of John Sanford's books. I am excited to see a new Sanford novel hit the shelf and try to wait as long as I can to get because I read them so quickly. They are gripping and the type of book in which you can see the movie playing in your head as you read. "
" This is the best of the recent Lucas Davenport books of the past several years. The story was well written and well plotted, and I was glad to learn more about Letty. "
" John Sanford is my favorite author of detective stories. He has created a vivid and believable world with Lucas Davenport and his family and co-workers. I'm glad that they are out there catching the bad guys. "
" As usual, I'm always interested in John Sanfords antagonists. They are so interesting. My only complaint would have been that I would like more detail. "
" Couldn't put it down! Great plot and subplots...can't wait for the next one... "
" John Sandford does not disappoint. I can't believe this is the 22nd Lucas Davenport novel - wow. There are 2 sets of bad guys, an extremely brutal initial murder scene, and lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed every moment of it and stayed up too late a couple of nights reading. Can't wait for #23. "
" Mellow Lucas is not my favorite cup of tea. "
" Good read,fast-paced! "
" Not as good as previous books; it was heavy on banking and computer processes that left me bored. That being said, still love Lucas. "
" Always entertaining and gripping. "
" It was good to return to Lucas and his family. "
" I got thru it. Not as interesting as I hoped. "
" I'm a huge fan of the Prey book series and this book did not disappoint me in the least. The story was riveting and I really had trouble putting it down. "
" another great Davenport story "
" I enjoyed this book up until the ending which was a bit of a letdown for me. It was just too formulaic for my taste and I expected better from John. "
" A great plot, plenty of suspense, lots of twists, and an awesomely satisfying ending. What more could you ask for from a great mystery? "
" Sandford is an incredible storyteller and this book truly illustrates his immense skill. The way he deftly weaves his characters though the complex and deeply satisfying plot is masterful. "
" I'm sad to say that this book did not live up to the reputation of its predecessors. I felt that it lacked the suspense and thrills that were so plentiful in the earlier books of the series. I was very disappointed. "
" I really enjoyed this book. The author skillfully mixes humor into a gripping thriller that kept me captivated until the final words. If you're looking for a well-written detective mystery then look no further. "
" I enjoyed this book... Love it when you don't figure out the bad guys until the very end.... "
" Always enjoy my summers with Lucas D. "
