Publisher's summary

Danger stalks Lucas Davenport at work and all too close to home, in the superlative new thriller by the number-one New York Times best-selling author. For 20 years, John Sandford's novels have been beloved for their "ingenious plots, vivid characters, crisp dialogue and endless surprises" ( The Washington Post), and nowhere are those more in evidence than in the sudden twists and shocks of Wicked Prey.

The Republicans are coming to St. Paul for their convention. Throwing a big party is supposed to be fun, but crashing the party are a few hard cases the police would rather have stayed away. Chief among them is a crew of professional stick-up men who've spotted several lucrative opportunities, ranging from political moneymen with briefcases full of cash to that armored-car warehouse with the weakness in its security system.

All that is headache enough for Lucas Davenport - but what's about to hit him is even worse. A while back, a stray bullet put a pimp and petty thief named Randy Whitcomb in a wheelchair, and ever since, the man has been nursing his grudge into a full head of psychotic steam. He blames Davenport for the bullet, but it's no fun just shooting him. That wouldn't be painful enough. Not when Davenport has a pretty 14-year-old adopted daughter that Whitcomb can target instead.

And then there's the young man with the .50 caliber sniper rifle and the right-wing-crazy background, roaming through a city filled with the most powerful politicians on earth....

Solve another case with Lucas Davenport.

Not that wicked

Two distinct subplots with little connection between them. One was excellent, the other was OK. Probably neither was enough for a complete novel, so ...
But, I always enjoy Sandford's books, especially the Prey series. I 'prey' that he'll write more of them.

Sandford Does it AGAIN!

I loved this book, the return of some memorable characters both good and bad makes it a fun read. Many twists that keep you hooked. One of my favorites.

Just What I Was Looking For

Where does Wicked Prey rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right up there with the ones that hold my attention and also make me feel like I've gotten my money's worth.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. Sanford at his best. I never knew what was going to happen next.

two of a kind

I love the chemistry in this story between Petty and Lucas. There were several laugh out loud parts that were noteworthy. looking forward to the next book.
