Staff Pick
The beauty of a Lucas Davenport novel is that the author John Sandford never repeats himself. Storm Prey is the 20th in this series, and it is as authentic and enjoyable as the first book, Rules of Prey. Davenport is smart and cool; his team is at the top of their game, and the story gripping. Storm Prey finds Lucas delving into the theft of pharmaceuticals from the hospital where his wife, Weather, works as a surgeon. Weather can identify one of the gang, and when her life is subsequently threatened, Lucas and his team rush to solve the crime before Weather becomes a victim. Soon Lucas and his team are tracking a lethal team of thieves while trying to keep Weather from becoming their next target. Not as dark as some of his previous Prey novels, Storm Prey is still action packed and a great read. Not many authors can keep a series like this fresh and interesting, but Sandford manages to make it look easy — kind of like Davenport. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:#LINK The brilliant new Lucas Davenport thriller from the #1 New York Times best-selling author.  >#"Sandford's track record as a best-selling author is amazing, but it's not an accident," wrote Booklist of Wicked Prey. "His plotting is sharp, his villains are extraordinarily layered, and his good guys are always evolving. And this time, there's a storm brewing...Very early, 4:45, on a bitterly cold Minnesota morning, three big men burst through the door of a hospital pharmacy, duct-tape the hands, feet, mouth, and eyes of two pharmacy workers, and clean the place out. But then things swiftly go bad, one of the workers dies, and the robbers hustle out to their truck-and find themselves for just one second face-to-face with a blond woman in the garage: Weather Karkinnen, surgeon, wife of an investigator named Lucas Davenport. Did she see enough? Can she identify them? Gnawing it over later, it seems to them there is only one thing they can do: Find out who she is, and eliminate the only possible witness... Review:"At the start of bestseller Sandford's superb 20th Lucas Davenport thriller (after Wicked Prey), the getaway vehicle from a botched early morning robbery, which results in a pharmacy employee's death, almost collides with the car driven by Lucas's surgeon wife, Weather Karkinnen. Weather, who was on her way to work at the Minnesota Medical Research Center, becomes a key witness. Sandford masterfully handles both sides of the equation as the thieves — planner Lyle Mack, his brother, Joe, and their henchmen — work to cover their crime. The investigation belongs to Minneapolis deputy chief Marcy Sherrill, but Lucas of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension pulls out all the stops to protect his wife. Sandford creates additional drama throughout as Weather and a skilled team of doctors perform an operation to separate twins joined at the skull. Sharply drawn characters, intricate plotting, and smooth dialogue make this a sure-fire winner. 500,000 first printing; author tour.
