Buried Prey

by John Sandford Narrated by Richard Ferrone

Overview

Some secrets just can't stay buried, in the brilliant new Lucas Davenport thriller from the number-one New York Times- bestselling author.

"One of the best," said Kirkus Reviews of Storm Prey. "Razor-sharp dialogue, a tautly controlled pace and enough homicides for a miniseries. What more could fans want?"

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.

JUNE 2011 - AudioFile

In this 21st “Prey” novel, John Sandford fires up the overused cold case trope. The two young sisters who are discovered plastic-wrapped and mummified at a demolition site take Lucas Davenport back to 1985 and his first plain-clothes case. Lucas felt burned by the convenient death of the major suspect at the time but acquiesced to seasoned officers in abandoning the case. Now the new bodies haunt the more experienced Minnesota Bureau of Apprehension agent with the realization that other girls must have died, as well. Richard Ferrone shines as the brash, young detective in the lengthy flashback sequence and delivers the slow burn of the seasoned investigator who is determined to stop the killer for the sake of justice—or maybe . . . revenge.

Back in 1985, two girls disappeared, and fledgling cop Lucas Davenport couldn't get over it, even when his boss declared the case closed. Now a house has been torn down, the bodies of two girls wrapped in plastic have been found, and Davenport is back on the case. Best seller Sandford is relentless.
