Lucas Davenport returns, in one of the most startling
Prey novels yet from the number-one-bestselling author.
The critics have always agreed: "Sandford's books are
compulsively readable" (Los Angeles Times); "Few writers can match
Sandford's smart, edgy, breakneck-speed thrillers" (Entertainment
Weekly); "Sandford is a master at creating believable, indelible
characters... [and] peerless when it comes to economical, taut plotting. He
makes the difficult seem effortless" (Detroit Free Press)
And it's all true once again about Invisible Prey. This is one of the best
Lucas Davenports ever — and one of the most surprising.
In the richest neighbourhood of Minneapolis, two elderly women lie murdered
in their home, killed with a pipe, the rooms ransacked, only small items stolen.
It's clearly a random break-in by someone looking for money to buy drugs. But as
he looks more closely, Davenport begins to wonder if the items are actually so
small or the victims so random, if there might not be some invisible agenda at
work here. Gradually, a pattern begins to emerge — and it will lead
Davenport to somewhere he never expected. Which is too bad, because the killers
— and yes, there is more than one of them — the killers are expecting
him.
Brilliantly suspenseful, filled with rich characterization and exciting
drama, Invisible Prey is further proof that "Sandford is in a class of his own"
(The Orlando Sentinel).
