    Phantom Prey description


    Description
    Product Description:
      Lucas Davenport has had disturbing cases before? but never one quite like this, in the shocking new Prey novel from the #1 New York Times?bestselling author.

    John Sandford?s most recent Davenport novel, Invisible Prey, was hailed as ?one of his best books in recent memory? (The Washington Post); ?as fresh and entertaining as ever? (Chicago Sun-Times); and ?rivetingly readable? (Richmond Times-Dispatch). But this time, he?s got something quite special in store.

    A widow comes home to her large house in a wealthy, exclusive suburb to find blood everywhere, no body?and her collegeaged daughter missing. She?s always known that her daughter ran with a bad bunch. What did she call them?Goths? Freaks is more like it, running around with all that makeup and black clothing, listening to that awful music, so attracted to death. And now this.

    But the police can?t find the girl, alive or dead, and when a second Goth is found slashed to death in Minneapolis, the widow truly panics. There?s someone she knows, a surgeon named Weather Davenport, whose husband is a big deal with the police, and she implores Weather to get him directly involved. Lucas begins to investigate only reluctantly?but then when a third Goth is slashed in what is now looking like a Jackthe- Ripper series of killings, he starts working it hard. The clues don?t seem to add up, though. And then there?s the young Goth who keeps appearing and disappearing: Who is she? Where does she come from and, more important, where does she vanish to? And why does Lucas keep getting the sneaking suspicion that there is something else going on here . . . something very, very bad indeed?

    Filled with his brilliant trademark suspense and some of the most interesting characters in thriller fiction, Phantom Prey is further proof that ?Sandford is in a class of his own? (The Orlando Sentinel).

    Phantom Prey Review
    Not up to John Sandford's usual excellent writing. This is the only one of the Lucas Davenport books that I could have skipped. Very disappointing.
    Lucas is still hot as every. - 5 stars
    Phantom Prey Review
    John Sandford is still holding his space as best selling author and it shows in his work. Phantom Prey is another Lucas Davenport crime novel. Lucas as always is strong, tough and confused by the madness of the killer or killers. This one takes you through a maze of characters who are or are not what they seem. It is as always a page turner and yes, you will be shocked. Kudo's John Sandford you have fed your readers hunger with this one. Tapping my fingers for the next one.

    Another hit for Sandford - 5 stars
    Phantom Prey Review
    Same old, same old: Great descriptive writing, great characterizations, great story and plot development, great dialogue. I try to read slowly because I don't want to reach the end and have to put the book down, but (once again) was unable to do so. I thought the plot device of having one of the "baddies" a "phantom" was brilliant - and fun. Throughout the book I was kept guessing as to how Sandford was going to have the phantom be the shooter (of Davenport). The resolution was just a bit "Deus ex Machina",but satisfying nonetheless. I hope Sandford stays with us a long time and continues the Davenport saga.
    Phantom Prey - 4 stars
    Phantom Prey Review
    The return of yet another Lucas Davenport heralds a further chapter in the life of Lucas Davenport. Set in the enviroment of Goth culture, an alien and negative enviroment for most readers. The characters of the victims remain somewhat remote and unsympathedtic more disposable cardboard cutouts than people. The excellent writing and and sheer story telling ability of Mr Sandford however can not hide the slight staleness of the Davenport character who should by all rights have retired (in the real world) some time ago. The plot twists and accompanying psychological disorder of the perpetrator stretched my suspension of disbelief almost to breaking point.
    However in the end I just kept on for the ride and what a ride it is. Another in the Prey Series, so un-put-downable it kept me up all night and I read it in one day. The stake out side plot lightened the tension with a humourous aside while Davenport again becomes the focus a yet another psycho serial killer. As comfortable as an old shoe and the ebrace of an old friend, yes Davenport is back. When's the next one coming out?

    John Sandford is the best - 5 stars
    Phantom Prey Review
    I don't care what he writes, Sandford is my absolute favorite author. His characters are totally real. Lucas is a superhero but human. I know JS said he wished he hadn't married him to Weather, but in my view, it hasn't hurt him at all. Virgil Flowers, Kidd, whatever. Just keep writing!
