Publisher's Summary

Layton had picked the perfect spot to lose his virginity to his girlfriend - an abandoned farmyard in the middle of cornfields. The only problem was something smelled bad....

He mentioned it to a county deputy he knew, and when they looked, they found a body stuffed down a cistern. By the time Lucas Davenport was called in, the police were up to fifteen bodies and counting. The victims had been killed over many years, one every summer. How could this have happened without anybody noticing?

Critic Reviews

"Tough, engrossing and engaging, Sandford writes superb thrillers." ( Literary Review)

"Few do it better than Sandford." ( Daily Telegraph)

Great Story, Great Plot, Great Narration

John Sandford's characters come to life on each and every page (Who wouldn't love Lucas Davenport?). The suspense, the twists and the unpredictability along with the expected, make the story believable, enjoyable and readable. I have read each and every novel in his Kidd, Davenport and Flowers series. I impatiently await each release each year to continue to follow my beloved characters. Although "Prey" is a long running series, a person would not be required to start at the beginning to read any of the novels. Reading them out of order may not be as enjoyable but it would still be possible. (It was actually how I started, being given a copy of Certain Prey and went back and started at the beginning, learned of the other series and quickly collected every book) This book, Field of Prey, is well written, well plotted and I give it five stars. Now Mr. Sandford, are you opening the door for a series for Letty? Could we be so fortunate?

Richard Ferrone never disappointing again he was outstanding with the delivery of the story

Really good story.

Really good story. Moves all the time. Davenport is sometimes slow in picking up a clue or doing the obvious.

A True Thriller

Davenport hunts. The stakes are high. The killer is practiced and prepared. It's no easy chase. Excellent.

great book

narrator could be better,otherwise up to the usual john Sanford standard. can't say much more.

Another Lucas Davenport winner

This is book twenty something in the John Sandford Lucas Davenport series and, in my view, probably the best so far. Sandford's dialogue is top notch and although the "hero" has matured somewhat and become a steady family man his original character remains and the familiar side-kicks retain their well-described personalities. It does it for me and will satisfy all Sandford enthusiasts. The reader did well, not an easy task this one with so many male cops and characters, and made it an easy though gripping engagement. Highly recommended for those who like the genre and the author.
