Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The pseudonymous Sandford (he's Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Camp) keeps turning out better and better thrillers. In this sixth entry in his Prey series, streetwise Minneapolis deputy police chief Lucas Davenport is beleaguered by perplexing females. Charged with saving the political life of Rose Marie Roux, the ambitious police chief who has her eye on a Senate seat, he's given the assignment of tracking to ground the sex-crazed perpetrator of a series of murders of young women. Davenport's unwelcome colleague in this case is feminist Meagan Connell, an abrasive State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator who's obsessed with catching the killer before she dies of cancer. Also bedeviled by the ill-timed assignment of a new partner, a yuppie who was formerly assigned to the grade schools as "Officer Friendly" and who happens to be the husband of the mayor's niece, Davenport is additionally saddled with the mystifying death of an elderly woman who died rather conveniently, freeing some local hoods to profit from a real-estate scam. Juxtaposing the dark consciousness of the sex-fixated murderer against the narrative perspective of Davenport, Sandford builds a compelling counter-rhythm of suspense. The narrative is sensitively embued with Davenport's humaneness as, in awe, he watches Connell courageously fight to postpone her impending death. Yet, credibly flawed, the cop also displays a roving eye when he's momentarily distracted from his deep commitment to the lovely physician Weather Karkinnen by a beautiful and seductive TV anchor. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club main selection; Mystery Guild alternate.

From Library Journal

This novel is sixth in the "Prey" series, written by journalist John Camp under the Sandford pseudonym and featuring Porsche-driving Minneapolis police detective Lucas Davenport. Here Davenport, who has just returned to duty after recovering from a serious gunshot wound, must face a serial killer named Koop, who is dropping bodies all over the metropolitan area. Koop makes the mistake of becoming a little too obsessed with a potential victim and thus leaves a trail that Davenport and his fellow officers finally discover. Despite its length, Night Prey is a tight, fast-moving thriller with appealing good guys and a suitably evil villain. Especially fascinating among the characters is Policewoman Connell, who is dying of cancer and whose fate becomes linked to Koop's in the spectacular climax. Buy wherever thrillers are read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another good Prey-novel, Nov 30 2003

By	Louise (Copenhagen V, Denmark) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Night Prey (Mass Market Paperback)

This Prey-novel, Night Prey, is not the best I have read. But it is not a bad book, not at all. Lucas Davenport is back on the force, mostly working behind the scenes. In Night Prey he is on a hunt for a serial killer who preys on lonely women with average looks, women who nobody'll notice. The killer falls in love with a business woman, and starts stalking her. She is unaware of him, and it is not until the last part of the book she discovers what's going on, and then it is almost too late. Davenport also has to deal with a dying state-police woman, who has one goal in her life, before she dies: to catch this serial killer. The character-descriptions are not as well developed in this book as they have been in other John Sandford novels, but nevertheless, Night Prey is a fast read and it will keep you entertained while reading. It is not nail-biting exciting though, something I missed with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling reading, Oct 2 2003

By	Beverley Strong (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Night Prey (Mass Market Paperback)

Lucas Davenport is back with the Minneapolis police force as Deputy Chief after a 2 year break. A State Investigator, Meagan Connell, is brought in to help solve the brutal attacks on women.Her demeanour as a tough, no-holds barred female cop, disguises the fact that she is dying of cancer and is determined to solve the case before she dies.A series of successful attacks and murders has given the perpetrator a hunger for more, so he fixates on an attractive and successful business woman and stalks and spies on her repeatedly.This is a hair raising story which will grip the reader to the end as well as giving a frightening look into the twisted and criminal mind of a sadistic rapist and murderer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night Prey - Sandford, Oct 25 2002

By	Chris MB "CMB" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Night Prey (Mass Market Paperback)

What can I say? Sandford got the series back on track with the gripping Winter Prey and that momentum is obviously still working for him with Night Prey. As usual (and forgive me if I sound like a broken record), the subplot is just as interesting as the main story itself. The language is straightforward, the characters well developed and the action quick. Night Prey is an entertaining and valuable addition to the Prey series.
