Ocean Prey: A Lucas Davenport & Virgil Flowers novel

A Lucas Davenport & Virgil Flowers novel

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces on a deadly maritime case in the remarkable new novel from internationally bestselling author John Sandford.

An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behaviour from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver . . . a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed.

They're federal officers killed on the job, which means the case is the FBI's turf. When the FBI's investigation stalls out, they call in Lucas Davenport.

And when his case turns lethal, Davenport will need to bring in every asset he can claim, including a detective with a fundamentally criminal mind: Virgil Flowers.

The best John Sandford book of all

I have read every Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers book but this was my first John Sandford audio book. And it didn’t disappoint for one minute. I couldn’t stop listening! A brilliant read (or listen) !!!

Great story, awesome narrator

As always I like these books, voice of Richard fits very well. Plot and story listence very easely

Great police procedural

Enjoyed the police and diving procedure details. Narrator was excellent with just the right amount of pace in the delivery. Highly recommended.

Not Virgil Flowers

The story was well written as always but Davenport is coming across as an old man and the narrator makes Virgil's voice so high and squeaky it really spoiled the story. The humor that surrounds Virgil wasn't there and that is so part of what I like about his character. I purchased this book because it had Virgil Flowers in the story. The stories written about him are always light hearted and with the special twist of a loveable rogue. I hope there will be more Virgil Flowers stories or a new series completely as I like this author's style and Davenport is fast losing his edge.

Terrible

The books have slowly got worse the more book are wrote. Time to kill off Lucus before he’s president
