"You know life is good when you have a new Lucas Davenport thriller to escape into," writes the Chicago Tribune, and Naked Prey proves it again. There is worse to come - much, much worse.įilled with rich characterization and exceptional drama that are his hallmarks, this is Sandford's most suspenseful novel yet. "Lynching" is the word that everybody's trying not to say - but, as Lucas begins to discover, in fact the murders are nothing like what they appear to be, and they are not the end of it. What makes the situation particularly sensitive is that the bodies are of a black man and a white woman, and they're naked. It comes in the form of two people found hanging from a tree in the woods of northern Minnesota. For every bit of peace you get, you have to pay - and he's waiting for the bill. In addition, Lucas is married now, and a new father, all of which is fine with him: he doesn't mind being a family man. His old boss, Rose Marie Roux, has moved up to the state level and taken Lucas with her, creating a special troubleshooter job for him for the cases that are too complicated or politically touchy for others to handle.
