Product ReviewsA Prey Novel Ser.: Buried Prey by John Sandford (2012, Trade Paperback)

BURIED PREY: A Cold Case Turns Hot in This Masterful John Sandford Whodunit

What's not to love about a nail-biting police procedural wherein the killer makes part of his living by selling on eBay? And the author is so hip to eBay, he even knows what OBO means!

John Sandford's "Prey" series stars tough, smart, sharp-dressing Lucas Davenport, a one-time police detective who's climbed the ladder to top cop at the Minnesota Bureau of Apprehension. When his very first case as a plainclothes detective turns from cold to hot, it's time to solve the nightmare puzzle that has haunted him for 25 years.

"Buried Prey" combines Sandford's trademark masterful plotting and engrossing character studies with a fascinating look back at police work before computers, the internet, and DNA. Moving seamlessly between past and present, the author steadily ratchets up the tension to an explosive climax and a bittersweet denouement.

"Buried Prey" is a landmark entry in one of the bestselling and best written series ever. You'll enjoy it most fully if you're already acquainted with the "Prey" cast of characters, but even if it's your first visit to the world of John Sandford, there's no mistaking you're in the hands of a mystery Grand Master...and you've got lots more treats in store, too!
