Ocean Prey

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

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.

Critic reviews

“Entertaining. . . Fans will enjoy seeing the two old buddies and their cohorts wading into dangerous [sic] waters.”—Publishers Weekly

John Sandford Does Not Disappoint

Ocean Prey is what I expect from John Sandford, which is a great story, characters I have grown to know and love over the years, and a few twists here and there.
Richard Ferrone is a master of Sandford's characters. In the 1990s I preferred Eric Conger and Ferrone was an adjustment, but I have grown to appreciate his narration of these novels. I can get my Conger fix listening to Virgil's adventures.
The book is well-written. The narration is good. Another homerun by the master!

Great Listen!

Maybe my favorite Prey yet! Loved having Virgil, Lucas, Bob, and Rey all together. Loads of suspense and humor. Well done and thank you, Mr. Sandford.

Excellent!!

Loved it! Great story line! Learned something about scuba diving, Miami, doughnuts ;), drug dealers,... Interesting characters to say the least. Sounds like there's room for more to come. I'll be ready to listen!

Well done

The story is well written with new and old characters appearing, but you don't have to know the series to enjoy the book, the abbreviated backgrounds in the story are plenty. I didn't care for the whiny Virgil voice in this audio, he sounds much stronger in the Flowers series.

Lucas Davenport Again!

Having lived in Minneapolis the first half of my adult life, along with being evolved with both sides of the law - I find the "Prey Series" one of the BEST!! J. Sandford has one again penned an amazing tale. PLUS Richard Ferrone could read me the phone book & I'd be hooked🎉
