Lucas Davenport is no longer working for the state police, thanks to his very powerful friends, he is a U.S. Marshal. Not only is Lucas a Marshal, but he get's to pick and choose his own cases. When a drug cartel stash house is attacked and robbed, five people, including a child, are murdered. Making the case even more interesting is that the fingerprints of one of the most wanted men is found at the crime scene. Now Lucas is involved in chasing the guy down and quickly discovers that the cartel is also after his suspect. The people Lucas talks too or is planning to talk too keep dropping like flies in a very painful way. Now Lucas makes it his mission to stop the murders. Too bad these people don't know who they are messing with.

It is nice to have Lucas Davenport back and in the field kicking butt where those before him we unable too. GOLDEN PREY is exciting and full of characters you never want to meet. The good news is with Lucas on the case no one else will ever have to suffer at their hands.

John Sanford keeps putting out good Lucas Davenport books and GOLDEN PREY is no exception. Excitement, sick bad guys, and good police work are always a good read. I love the way he digs into a case and solves it by working the case step by step. As long as Sanford keeps writing Davenport I will keep reading them.
