Mortal Prey

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author!

Years ago, Lucas Davenport almost died at the hands of Clara Rinker, a pleasant, soft-spoken, low-key Southerner, and the best hitwoman in the business. Now retired and living in Mexico, she nearly dies herself when a sniper kills her boyfriend, the son of a local druglord, and while the boy’s father vows vengeance, Rinker knows something he doesn’t: The boy wasn’t the target—she was—and now she is going to have to disappear to find the killer herself. The FBI and DEA draft Davenport to help track her down, and with his fiancée deep in wedding preparations, he’s really just as happy to go, but he has no idea what he’s getting into. For Rinker is as unpredictable as ever, and between her, her old bosses in the St. Louis mob, the Mexican druglord, and the combined, sometimes warring, forces of U.S. law enforcement, this is one case that will get more dangerous as it goes along. And when the crossfire comes, anyone standing in the middle won’t stand a chance.

Filled with the rich characterization and exceptional drama that are his hallmarks, Mortal Prey proves that John Sandford just keeps getting better.

Raves for Mortal Prey

John Sandford is at his best. But,all of his books have equal rank--"tops." John excells at bringing the reader into the story and portraying the every-mans (and womans)-ideal-hero in Lucas Davenport. Mortal Prey is a mystery that can be played and replayed. Well worth downloading. I have all of his early books on cassettes and plan to download each to CDs.

Enjoyable audiobook.

Lots of action, which I like. Narration was good, although there would be pauses that I found a bit distracting. All in all, the storyline was worth the listen.

Clara Rinker and Davenport - Good as it Gets

The two Clara Rinker novels in the Lucas Davenport series are as good as crime adventure novels get. Great characters, gripping scenes, good writing and very well narrated.. you have both sympathy and disgust for the villain, giving the hunt an extra tweet of tension. These two novels are worth every credit!

Rinker part 2 just as exceptional as certain prey.

Rinker part 2 just as exceptional as certain prey. Nail bitter from start to finish all the action of thebest roller coasters.
