A rundown block of buildings is being demolished in
downtown Minneapolis when the excavating operators are
shocked to unearth the bodies of two children wrapped in
plastic. Who are they and how long have they been there?
One look and Lucas Davenport knows the answers.
In 1985, the young Jones sisters disappeared, and Lucas was
part of the immense team investigating the case. Though
still a young cop in uniform, Lucas was eager to get into
plain-clothes work and advance his career. He was given the
perfect opportunity with the kidnapping case and did an
exemplary job of uncovering information. When the head of
Homicide decided they'd found the perfect suspect, the
investigation stalled, but Lucas was never convinced they
had the right man. It didn't make much difference, though,
when the suspect ended up dead. Case closed...but was it?
Now, as the top law enforcement officer in the state, Lucas
is given a second chance to find out what really happened
to the little girls -- and learn the true identity of the
killer. He has to play nice with the local cops handling
the case, so it's helpful that long-time friend Marcy
Sherrill is heading the investigation. Feeling guilty for
not doing enough in 1985, will Lucas finally be able to
find justice for the Jones girls? What he discovers and the
eventual outcome will shock everyone to the core.
John Sandford gives readers some of the best
characterization in crime suspense today with his
bestselling novels, as well as breakneck plotting and
shocking conclusions. This 21st addition to his Prey series
continues the tradition and should not be missed. As
always, I can't wait for the next Sandford novel.
A house demolition provides an unpleasant surprise for
Minneapolis — the bodies of two girls, wrapped in plastic.
It looks like they’ve been there a long time. Lucas
Davenport knows exactly how long.
In 1985, Davenport was a young cop with a reputation for
recklessness, and the girls’ disappearance was a big deal.
His bosses ultimately declared the case closed, but he
never agreed with that. Now that he has a chance to
investigate it all over again, one thing is becoming
increasingly clear: It wasn’t just the bodies that were
buried. It was the truth.
