Description

With each new book, John Sandford's Lucas Davenport novels grow deeper, richer, more suspenseful, and their audience grows even larger. The best, however, is yet to come.

When Davenport is called to the white-stuccoed house, after the party, he knows it's for no usual case. For one thing, the strangulation victim is Alie'e Maison, she of the knife-edged cheekbones and jade-green eyes: as models go, one of the biggest. For another, there are a few small complications. Such as the drugs in her body and the evidence that she had recently made love to a woman. Such as the fact that one of Luca's own men had been at the party, and is now a suspect. Such as the little surprise they are all about to find when they search the house: a second body, stuffed in a closet, with a deep dent in its skull.

The whole case is going to be like this, Lucas knows -- secrets piled upon secrets, the ground shifting constantly under his feet. But even he cannot suspect the earth tremors he is about to feel, when an old lover comes back into his life, a married woman now ... whose own secrets may turn out to be the most dangerous ones of all.

Filled with brilliant characters and exceptional drama, this is Sandford's most suspenseful novel yet.

Critical Reviews

Praise for Easy Prey

"The dialogue is deft, the melodrama masterfully orchestrated and the conclusion truly culminant. As secrets explode, as bullets fly and bodies fall, and as the ground keeps shifting, there's hardly time to keep up with the spectacle."--The Los Angeles Times

"When you come out of the twists and turns that are Easy Prey, it is a marvel how [Sandford] could do this...he's a writer in control of his craft."--Chicago Sun-Times

"Crackerjack suspense...[Sandford's] at the top of his game again with Easy Prey."--New York Post

"A Grand Guignol of a climax."--Kirkus Reviews

"Wildly successful...contains all the elements fans have come to expect: solid plot, gallows humor...sex, and the likeable, self-assured Davenport."--Booklist

"Rapid-fire action...sharply evocative."--Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Easy Prey is hard to put down."--Richmond Times Dispatch

"[An] ever-entertaining series. As always, it's a joy to follow this rare cop who gets led more often by his gut instinct than by clues. His humor, understated and perverse, can be wildly funny, and the people he runs across are shrewdly conceived originals."--Publishers Weekly
