Synopsis

Fan-favorite heroes Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces on a deadly maritime case in the remarkable new novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author John Sandford.

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.

They're federal officers killed on the job, which means the case is the FBI's turf. When the FBI's investigation stalls out, they call in Lucas Davenport. And when his case turns lethal, Davenport will need to bring in every asset he can claim, including a detective with a fundamentally criminal mind: Virgil Flowers.

About John Sandford

American author, John Sanford (a pseudonym of John Roswell Camp) wrote thirty-five novels, all of which are on the New York Times bestsellers list in one way or another. He was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1944, where he spent much of his time with his Lithuanian grandparents. Their home was very primitive with an outside outhouse and a subsistence garden. Life was work centered on the farm with hay being bailed each summer to feed the various farm animals. Fruit trees were also in abundance on their property. It was a good place to grow up.

Camp won the Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and also won the Distinguished Writing Award of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. He also wrote two non-fiction books. The Eye and the Heart: The Water Colors of John Stuart Ingle, and Plastic Surgery: The Kindest Cut.

Camp was married to Susan Lee Jones, and has two children. Susan died in May 2007 of metastasized breast cancer, and he married again in 2013 to Michele Cook, a journalist and screenwriter. Camp is a dedicated painter and photographer also. He, however, does not show his paintings.

Camp's most prolific work is the Prey series of which there are currently twenty-five installments, running from 1989 - 2015.......the first being Rules of Prey and the most recent, Gathering Prey, which debuted on April 28, 2015. Other series include The Kidd Series, The Virgil Flowers Series, The Singular Menace Series, and other various books and short stories.

Goodreads review by David on May 04, 2021

Ocean Prey 5-2021 Excellent read, loved this one. Sometimes a series can wane or diminish in story, character and voice, the author getting tired of writing the same old thing. The last few of Sanford have been good but not quite up to some of his really spectacular books. With Ocean Prey, Sanford is......more

Goodreads review by Kemper on May 10, 2021

I received a free advance copy from NetGalley for review. Ocean Spray? What kind of a name is that for a book? What’s it about? The history of the drink? Or is it a biography of the guy who made the viral video of him skateboarding and drinking Ocean Spray while he lip synced that Fleetwood Mac song?......more

John Sanford brings investigation, action, surveillance, and suspense to the latest book in the Prey series. An off-duty Coast Guardsman, Barney Hall, and his family are fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale when he calls in suspicious activity to the watch officer. A boat appears to be picking u......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on December 09, 2022

I first started listening to John Sandford’s Prey series of books some ten years ago, I would say that JS provided my introduction to audiobooks as my local library seemed to stock a whole bunch of his titles. The front man is a smooth but tough Minnesota lawman called Lucas Davenport who is equally......more

Goodreads review by Sheyla ✎ on September 09, 2022

This one had me worried. So much excitement at the end. Also, this one was heartbreaking. Did I shed a tear or two...absolutely! A Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he notices a suspicious boat. Since he is off duty, he calls it in. When three Guardsmen come to take a closer look, they a......more
