 Easy Prey byJohn Sanford Putnam 407 pages, 2000 ISBN 039914613X Reviewed by Phillip Tomasso III John Sanford’s latest novel in the Prey Series brings Lucas Davenport back to investigate a double homicide. The media and Hollywood-type personalities are all over the investigation and applying pressure to the case since one of the women murdered was Alie’e Maison, a prominent and famous young model. As if Davenport did not have enough on his plate already, someone is also killing off any suspect the police find a lead on. The investigation takes on an entirely new meaning for Davenport and the rest of the Minneapolis Police Department when one of the detectives is seriously shot while protecting a potential target. In a search to find the right puzzle pieces to fit this bizarre mystery, the police team looking for the murderers realize that they may have been looking in the wrong way. The new course of direction introduces clever financial scams into the plot, leaving Davenport grasping for tangible proof. All the while, Davenport is emotionally torn in his personal life, fearing he may be in love with three different women. He knows he must make a decision, and the climax to this dilemma is nothing short of a brilliant cliffhanger. Easy Prey is a completely engrossing tale into John Sanford’s twisted and macabre world of fictitious terror, mystery, and intrigue. The excitement pours from chapter to chapter and flows from page to page. I can hardly wait to see what Sanford has up his sleeve for his next thrilling novel. |
