In the richest neighborhood of Minneapolis, two elderly women lie murdered in their home, killed with a pipe, the rooms tossed, only small items stolen. It is clearly the random work of someone looking for money to buy drugs. But as Davenport looks more closely, he begins to wonder whether the items are actually so small and the victims so random; if there might not be some invisible agenda at work here. Gradually, a pattern begins to emerge, and it leads him to...certainly nothing he ever expected. Which is too bad, because the killers, and, yes, there is more than one of them, the killers are expecting him.
Brilliantly suspenseful, filled with rich characterization and exciting drama, Invisible Prey is further proof that Sandford is in a class of his own.

"As always for Sandford, entertaining and intelligent reading." (Booklist)
"Interesting and unusual supporting characters, good and bad guys alike, enhance an intriguing puzzle." (Publishers Weekly)
In John Sanford's latest novel, Richard Ferrone demonstrates how a narrator can transform a mundane thriller into a thoroughly enjoyable experience. While the story of the search for the murderer of two elderly women takes a few unpredictable turns, the dialogue of this seventeenth Lucas Davenport story is a bit predictable, Still, Ferrone ably provides every character with a unique voice, especially the heroes and villains who populate the fringes of the story. In doing so, Ferrone draws the listener more deeply into the book and makes INVISIBLE PREY a far better experience than it would be with a lesser performance. (c) AudioFile 2007
