Sudden Prey

A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford.

Lucas Davenport knows why people kill. Some do it for thrills. Some do it for profit. Some do it because they must. But when his team guns down two bank robbers in the middle of a heist, Davenport falls prey to the purest, simplest criminal motivation of all: revenge.

Dick LaChaise is the husband of one of the dead bank robbers and brother to the other. He wants Davenport to suffer as he has.

So he's not going after Davenport himself . . . he's going after his family.

"It appears there is no limit to John Sandford’s ability to keep new breath and blood flowing into his Lucas Davenport series. This is a series you must be reading if you are not already."—Bookreporter.com

"Sandford has always been at the top of any list of great mystery writers. His writing and the appeal of his lead character are as fresh as ever." —The Huffington Post

"Sandford is consistently brilliant." —Cleveland Plain Dealer

Unabridged ... finally.

I am a major fan of Sandford's "Prey" series, so I admit a bias here. I love them all. I have listened to Sudden Prey a few times in the abridged version (I have it on cassette). But finally here is an unabridged version, which is even better. Richard Ferrone is an excellent narrator - to me, he IS the voice of Lucas Davenport.

Excitement

Well written and very exciting. He crafts a story from start to finish that keeps you hanging on to every word.

Not my favorite, but...

This prey book seems a little dull, relatively speaking, compared to John Sandford's usual stories. Instead of the extreme psycho crazy sadistic cruel but brilliant villains, these guys seem to be just mean. And not real smart. I've never been a fan of cowboy stuff, but if you fancy it this book is for you. it has the old west gunfighter showdown ok corral flavor but the suspense is really only edge of your seat caliber in the last scene after the main event. one of the highlights is that Lucas and Weather find out about each other in a deep and dark way. It's still great entertainment but has some foggy areas.

Yep, Another Great Story.

As usual, Lucas Davenport (and his team) do not disappoint. There is a lot of action and the plot can seem a little chaotic, however, that's kind of I would expect a scenario like this to play out. My only concern after reading this book is that I need to buy more credits to get the rest of the series.

Sudden Prey

another suspenseful mystery for Lucas Davenport. John Sandford does his usual great job with this book and the narration is wonderful I highly recommend this series.
