Description

When a slumlord and a welfare supervisor are found brutally murdered in Minneapolis, Lucas Davenport follows a trail that quickly turns ritualistic—and far more disturbing than a simple crime spree. As the investigation expands city to city, Davenport must navigate a web of intimidation, institutional silence, and the unsettling possibility that the killer’s pattern is being enabled or concealed. Blending hard-edged procedural momentum with a darker look at power and accountability, the novel explores how systems protect themselves when the truth is inconvenient. In the tradition of John Sandford’s sharp, propulsive crime storytelling, this second installment of the Prey series delivers a tense hunt for a shadowy predator while probing the human cost of cover-ups.
