Naked Prey

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

In Naked Prey, John Sandford puts Lucas Davenport through some changes. 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. 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. But he is a little worried. For every bit of peace you get, you have to pay—and he's waiting for the bill.

It comes in the form of two people found hanging from a tree in the woods of northern Minnesota. What makes it particularly sensitive is that the bodies are of a black man and a white woman, and they're naked. "Lynching" is the word that everybody's trying not to say—but, 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. There is worse to come—much, much worse.

Filled with the rich characterization and exceptional drama that are his hallmarks, this is Sandford's most suspenseful novel yet.

Critic reviews

"This one is vintage Sandford."—Publishers Weekly

"Sandford's best novel yet."—Library Journal

"All but impossible to put down."—Washington Post

Meet Letty West!

Loved this book. Letty West is one of the best character additions to this great series. She appears in subsequent novels in the series and she is a fabulous character. And this is the book where she makes her debut.

Love Lucas Davenport

I hope this series continues until Lucas and Weather are grandparents. Their children can take up where the parents left off.

Another Great Lucus Davenport story.

very enjoyable. Early in the book, after meeting a new character, I had a wish. It came true. very Good Ending.

This is as good as it gets!

This is the important story of how Lettie becomes a part of Lucas' life. Great story, one of John Sandford's best!!!

Introducing Letty Davenport
