From Publishers Weekly

A terrorist conspiracy, masterminded by a small group of Native Americans, embarks on a series of ritualistic murders, offing public officials known for their record of prejudice against Indians, in Sandford's ( Rules of Prey ) second Lucas Davenport thriller. Dakota medicine men Sam and Aaron Crow recruit killers whom they arm with obsidian knives on leather thongs and send out to cut the throats of victims in Minnesota, Oklahoma and New York--for starters. Both Sam and Aaron act as fathers to young Shadow Love (since each has been his mother's lover); Shadow Love is, in fact, a psychopath who will use the Indian murder mission to fulfill his own agenda. When Minneapolis police lieutenant Davenport gets on the case, assisted by statuesque, tough-talking policewoman Lily Rothenburg, the "sulky, dark-haired madonna" dispatched from New York to observe the investigation, the story crackles with romance and suspense, especially when Lucas and Lily become the killers' prey. Lucas's personality is the novel's most nuanced: he is a rugged lover of women--including his old friend Elle, psychologist and Sister of Mercy--he fathers his live-in girlfriend's baby and spends nights inventing board games. Other characters, like Sandford's dialogue, are only serviceable, but plenty of gore and action drives the plot forward. 75,000 first printing; major ad/promo.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Indian prey, Déc 30 2003
Par Louise (Copenhagen V, Denmark) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Shadow Prey (Paperback)
John Sandford's Minneapolis cop, Lucas Davenport, can't decide if he wants to stay with news-woman Jennifer and their baby-girl Sarah. When politicians start to get killed by Native Americans, it soon becomes clear, that something more than "just" random killings is going on. When a high profile politician from New York is killed, and it looks like the killer is headed towards Minneapolis, female cop Lily Rothenburg is sent there to crack the case. Lucas Davenport quickly finds himself very attracted to Lily, and while they try to solve the case, and more people gets killed, they also start an affair.
In the shadows, throughout the book, lurks a scary Native American called Shadow Love, and his Fathers, the Crows, who are the masterminds behind the killings, which are parts of a much greater scheme.
The stpry does not flow as easily as the other books by John Sandford, and I was in fact a bit disappointed by this one. The last 150 pages are quite good, though, but it does take a while before the story gets going. The main plot, served already at the first pages, is however interesting, and it is hard not to develop some sort of sympathy with the Crows and their case, regardless of their methods. There is a lot of politics in this book, and that may have been why I wasn't that excited about it.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Who is Shadow?, Déc 15 2002
Par "tsm224" (Cleveland ohio) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Shadow Prey (Paperback)
This time Lucas will encounter hostile Indians and bizarre killings. Three killings with the same death blow but nothing else in common. Or so it seems. As Lucas searches for a
common denominator he encounters Shadow love. This man will die for his cause rather than be caught by the police. He is a Indian who feels that certain people have done his people wrong. They either stole their land, squander their money or pass laws that hinder their right to practice their customs and beliefs. Sanford writes another stellar novel with real human concerns and more insight into davenport's love life. In the end, justice is served just not the typical justice that the courts uphold.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Even better than the first one!, Aoû 14 2002
Par Un client
This review is from: Shadow Prey (Paperback)
Those of you who loved "Rules of Prey" will not be disappointed with Sandford's second installment in his "Prey" series. Taking a different direction from the first one, this book follows Lucas' pursuit of a group of Indian terrorists (Native American, not people from India) who have been murdering oppressors of the Indian community. I loved this book and the whole concept on which it is based. I particularly enjoyed the villain, Shadow Love, a psychotic member of the group who would rather kill anyone he feels deserves to die. The only thing I didn't like about this book was its portrayal of FBI agents as arrogant screw-ups who like to horn in on the cops' investigations. That stereotype is just a Hollywood cliché that has managed to perpetuate every police book/movie in history. Other than that, the book was an exciting read, easily one of the best.
