Publisher Description
The brilliant new Lucas Davenport thriller from the #1 New York Times best-selling author. "Sandford's track record as a best-selling author is amazing, but it's not an accident," wrote Booklist of Wicked Prey. "His plotting is sharp, his villains are extraordinarily layered, and his good guys are always evolving. And this time, there's a storm brewing...Very early, 4:45, on a bitterly cold Minnesota morning, three big men burst through the door of a hospital pharmacy, duct-tape the hands, feet, mouth, and eyes of two pharmacy workers, and clean the place out. But then things swiftly go bad, one of the workers dies, and the robbers hustle out to their truck-and find themselves for just one second face-to-face with a blond woman in the garage: Weather Karkinnen, surgeon, wife of an investigator named Lucas Davenport. Did she see enough? Can she identify them? Gnawing it over later, it seems to them there is only one thing they can do: Find out who she is, and eliminate the only possible witness...

"It was the first I had read in the series of Lucas Davenport. I had many questions since I had not read the other books. I have now gone back and found the second book Shadow Prey which gives me more insight into Lucas Prey the man. I am now looking for others in the series."
— Brenda (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“A good thriller requires a good villain, and the latest Prey has one that would make a lovely mate for Strip’s Carrie: Caprice Marlon Garner, a motorcycle-riding killer. Sandford writes great, unapologetic guy fiction…but you guy-ettes will have a good time too.”
— Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly -
“A beautiful thing to behold. The sturdy scaffolding, designed to support two interconnecting story lines, allows readers to follow both the misadventures of an incompetent gang of thieves…and a complicated medical procedure to separate conjoined twins…But the pretty construction job isn’t all bricks and mortar. Sandford invests the villains with enough psychotic quirks to keep the action fast, jumpy, and violent. And while none of the white hats can match the perverse appeal of a twenty-year-old killer biker whose crazy father named him after a 1982 Chevy Caprice, that delicate operation is every bit as intense as all the other daredevil stunts in this manhunt.”
— New York Times Book Review -
“Scenes are short and punchy, keeping the narrative moving at full gallop.”
— Washington Post -
“Superb…Sharply drawn characters, intricate plotting, and smooth dialogue make this a sure-fire winner.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review) -
“It can’t get more exciting than this.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review -
“Includes most of the elements readers expect: sharp plot, snappy dialogue, and believable action…This is another fine entry in a wildly popular series.”
— Booklist -
“This fast-paced crime novel with bad guys so calmly amoral will have readers dead-bolting their doors for weeks.”
— Library Journal -
“Lucas Davenport’s twentieth case is one of his best…Razor-sharp dialogue, a tautly controlled pace, and enough homicides for a miniseries. What more could fans want?”
— Kirkus Reviews

" I get lost for hours in the Davenport books Richard Ferrone narrates all the characters with ease It’s like they’re all old friends on exciting cases "
— KMW, 8/21/2024 -
" A good solid Prey book. As an easy-to-read murder mystery... these books can't be beat. "
— Will, 2/9/2014 -
" semi-spolier: lots of people die in this book. enjoyable, with a nicely interwoven plot. "
— Matt, 2/9/2014 -
" Sanford throws in just about every character, many from different books (flowers, etc.) and the body count is surprisingly high for a 'simple' hospital pharmacy robbery gone wrong (one pharmacists inadvertently dies from blows inflicted) ----- but still very good. "
— Celilo, 2/7/2014 -
" Excellent Prey novel! "
— Angela, 2/6/2014 -
" Not the best of the Davenport series, but a decent summer read. Sometimes a Twinkie just tastes good. "
— Anita, 2/1/2014 -
" Ok, I love Lucas Davenport novels. They are consistently interesting, page-turner type books, and as a break from the serious stuff, they are a lot of fun. Someone requested this on PBSwap and so I just gobbled it down so I could send it out. Now back to the serious stuff. "
— Beth, 1/23/2014 -
" Another great one from Sandford. I am in love with Weather, Lucas, Virgil, and the whole gang. Can't wait for the next one!! "
— Laura, 1/15/2014 -
" Love the entire series! 20 of 20 - always pre-ordered on Amazon, waiting for the Virgil Flowers book to come out next week! "
— Amanda, 1/2/2014 -
" A gang of thieves rob a hospital. Weather Karkinnon is a witness, so they target her to shut her up. Fun asskickery, as usual. But these titles don't even try to make sense. "
— Matthuvius, 12/28/2013 -
" I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as strong as some of the previous ones. He kept using the "hard" man/men as a description, and I found it a bit annoying. Still, I like the characters and it was an easy, holiday read. "
— Teryl, 12/26/2013 -

— Melissa, 7/31/2013 -
" The twentieth is as good as the first. This series sagged a bit in the middle, in my opinion. But I'm glad I've stuck with it. This is a really solid outing for Davenport and that f***ing Flowers. It's a page-turner. "
— Kathleen, 7/24/2013 -
" I've always enjoyed the Lucas Davenport books, and this one was no exception. Quickly-paced and engaging. Added bonus that the author lives, as do his characters, in Minnesota. "
— Jerome, 4/30/2013 -
" Lots of humor with a good "cop" story. "
— Megowen, 4/7/2013 -

" Another great read from John Sandford! This was especially good - had me page turning late into the night! "
— Joan, 5/16/2011 -
" Quick, easy, mindless read done in the same formulaic manner as most other mass produced mystery books. But, when you don't really want to concentrate yet do want to escape reality for a few hours--these types of books are perfect. "
— Michelle, 5/16/2011 -
" This book was alright. I only really enjoyed the second half; the first half started off a little slow. "
— Nichole, 5/11/2011 -
" Maybe not Sandford's best but still plenty good. "
