Wicked Prey

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

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....

Audible please fix!

The story and narration are great! However, someone bungled up the recording. The Second half of the book is first and the first half is second. Audible please fix this!

AWESOME

If you like the prey series you will love this one!!! Great read (or Listen)

Connections

Wondered when and how he would bring Randy back . Makes the character's so interesting you go back and forth from book to book just for the development.

real action

always a good storyline. great reading. great charters and never a dull moment. love all the books.

wicked good

great series. Sandford is in top form with this one. The characters are strong and real, the story great.

Busy busy busy

The usual excellent Sandford book but way too many subplots on top of subplots. Maybe it was a combination of a couple unfinished works combined into one book. Maybe not.

Letty Takes Center Stage!

I think that this iteration of the Davenport series really features Letty. She takes center stage and, in many ways, is revealed to be a teenage, female incarnation of Davenport. I have come to expect Richard Ferrone's voice and characterizations, and I think he does a fantastic job, especially when one considers that he began this journey over 20 years ago. I can also appreciate that Davenport is flawed instead of being a superhero who does no wrong. This is a great series and I am going to download the next book today.

Wicked Prey

As usual Sandford and narrator Ferrone don't disappoint. Another 5 star book in the "Prey" series!

Great Listen

I can always count on John Sandford for a great story!!! Have enjoyed everyone of his books!! Richard Ferrone is one of my favorite narrators.

Great Read

Fans of the Prey series will love this book. It revisits old characters. This is Sandford at the top of his game.
