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.

A fun story

I really enjoyed this story. It was so much better than the previous Prey book. I like Letty's character. I hope there are more like this and less like Phantom.

Once I started to listen to this book, I couldn’t put it down.

John Sandford’s stories get better & better. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book waiting for something terrible to happen to Lettie. I love both the Davenport and the Flowers characters and am looking forward to my next read. Great story, great characters and great narrator!

that ____ Davenport

I am a fan of Sanford and found this one like the others. Fun...suspense and continues with Davenport and his family. Fun read but not as full of mystery as some of the other Prey books.

Wicked Prey

Classic Lucas Davenport, A#1 in my book, and nobody reads the Prey Series like Richard Ferrone. In this installment, we hear from characters in previous books of the series AND! Letty is growing up fast and included in this story. All in all a great listen.

New character

Davenports daughter Letty and her voice add some new life into the series. I "binged" and listened to the entire book in less than two days.

John Sandford Always Delivers

Wicked Prey kept me riveted from start to finish. Not only the main plot, but the interesting setting of the convention. This book is a winner!

Usual high standard

The Davenport series is second to none for me so I admit to being biased. After three years I’m going through the entire series again. The best.

Great story and even better ending

Excellent characters and great performance! Letti is growing up and could very well have her own storyline soon.
