His previous novel, Mortal Prey, was his most successful to date, both critically and in terms of reader popularity.And while you can never predict how the public will react to any particular piece of work-and he almost certainly started on Naked Prey well before the verdict started coming in on Mortal-Sandford had to know that Mortal Prey. There is worse to comemuch, much worse.įilled with the rich characterization and exceptional drama that are his hallmarks, this is Sandford's most suspenseful novel yet. This book had to be a challenge for John Sandford. "Lynching" is the word that everybody's trying not to saybut, as Lucas begins to discover, in fact the murders are not what they appear to be, and they are not the end of the story. What makes it particularly sensitive is that the bodies are of a black man and a white woman, and they're naked. It comes in the form of two people found hanging from a tree in the woods of northern Minnesota. For every bit of peace you get, you have to payand he's waiting for the bill. In addition, Lucas is now married and a new father, both of which are fine with him: he doesn't mind being a family man. His old boss, Rose Marie Roux, has moved up to the state level and taken Lucas with her, creating a special troubleshooter job for him for the cases that are too complicated or politically touchy for others to handle. Book 6, Mad River, was a chase story with nonstop action that was a highlight as well, though I have enjoyed them all so far and I think you will too.In Naked Prey, John Sandford puts Lucas Davenport through some changes. This is book number 14 in the A Prey Novel series.

Unlike the Davenport, none of them ever felt cliche in plot and Sandford’s abilities were top of his form before this series started so the first book out of the gate, Dark of the Moon, was one of his best. Naked Prey (A Prey Novel 14) (Paperback) By John Sandford Other Books in Series.
There are 12 books in this series so far and I am on number 9 as of today. Sandford does well at mixing action and humor and these books are also great, fast reads with plenty of suspenseful twists and turns and fascinating characters while also being gritty and following real police procedures without bogging down in research detail. The last surviving member is given The Lion’s Chance by the tribal leader to be. The tribe is offended, seizes the party, and one-by-one, kills all but one of the safari members in various creative and horrifying ways. Two people are found hanging naked from a tree in the woods of northern. One of the party refuses to give a gift to a tribe they encounter. Virgil is a surfer-type who’s good with the ladies and he is surrounded by a crew of colorful, eclectic characters who keep the story interesting. The 1 New York Times bestselling Lucas Davenport novel from John Sandford. Virgil Flowers is an investigator who works for Davenport in the BCA but covers rural areas in the Southern part of the state. Books I could soar through in a few days. I read all 30 Davenport books and they were a true pleasure.
The plots are solid with nice twists, and even though some of the early ones fell into the “seen it before category,” what he did with it was so fresh it didn’t matter. It’s gritty, it’s fast paced, with good suspense and great characters. I first discovered Sandford through his Lucas Davenport thrillers about a tough cop leading a specialized state police force, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, in Minnesota. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Oscar Academy Awards. Cornel Wilde's The Naked Prey was filmed entirely on location under circumstances nearly as dangerous as the plight of its protagonist. In any case, today, I am recommended John Sandford’s incredible Virgil Flower series. The rest of this thrill-a-minute film follows Wilde into the underbrush in his desperate, resourceful flight for life. Plus, if I can’t recommend a book, why bring it up? I am planning to start doing some limited book reviews again, but mostly I don’t do those unless I can praise a book because it isn’t worth upsetting a fellow author.
I haven’t talked here about my reading much in a long while.
