Synopsis

New York Times best-selling author John Sandford's Minneapolis police officer Lucas Davenport is an icon of literary suspense the world over.

Partnering with no-nonsense cop Lily Rothenburg, Davenport is set on the case -- but soon they both drift into the sights of the killers.

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.

This is a reread for me, the third one. I was floundering about looking for a contemporary book to grab my attention and hold. I went through many in my TBR pile without any luck. So as I have done many times in the past I started rereading my one my favorite authors. This is the second one in the l......more

Goodreads review by Jonetta on February 23, 2024

the setup… It begins with the brutal murder of a slumlord in Minneapolis who targets the Native American community. The next is an Oklahoma City judge followed by a New York agency head with a brilliant political career path. All were murdered in the same way, their throats slashed. Since it started......more
