Sandford, John Certain Prey
Berkley March 1, 2000 0-425-17427-1 / 9780425174272 Paperback Near Fine
For all his brooding, Minneapolis cop Lucas Davenport lacks the charisma of , say, Robert B. Parker's Spenser or James Patterson's Alex Cross. The vast popularity of the Prey novels is probably due, then, not so much to this d ependable hero as to Sandford's clever plotting, sure pacing and fully roun ded villainsAas well as his smart prose. As if acknowledging his series' he ro's unflashy demeanor, Sandford, in his 10th Prey book (after Secret Prey) , allows two gleefully unrecalcitrant female antagonists to steal the show from Davenport. Clara Rinker's life as a murderer and mob hit woman begins when she is raped at age 16 and beats her assailant dead with a baseball ba t. Years later, the other femme fatale, sociopathic Minneapolis defense law yer Carmel Loan, hires Rinker to kill the wife of property attorney Hale Al len, whom Carmel desires; within days, she has Hale in bed. The storyline s pools out as a cat-and-mouse among the women and Davenport, with the villai nesses dominating the action, sometimes in tangential scenes. When the junk ie who connected Carmel to Rinker blackmails the pair, for instance, Carmel tortures him with an electric drill as Rinker watches. The action doesn't always wash: Davenport tumbles to Carmel's involvement too easily, and Carm el's ferocious response to being framed by Davenport redefines the term "ov er the top." The play between the two women, who bond like sisters, is as f ascinating as the courtship of venomous lizards, and the novel's background humAcomprised of various amatory rustlings, forensic and legal ploys, and maneuvers among cops, FBI agents, mobsters and the killers is rich in authe

Sandford, John Dark of the Moon
Berkley September 30, 2 0-425-22413-9 / 9780425224137 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Virgil Flowers, introduced in bestseller Sandford's Prey series (Invisible Prey, etc.), gets a chance to shine in his own vehicle and does so brightly. The thrice-divorced, affable member of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), who reports to Prey series hero Lucas Davenport, operates pretty much on his own as he tackles a murder wave that hits the little town of Bluestem. At the center of the story is old Bill Judd, hated by many who blame him for the Jerusalem artichoke scheme that made him rich and others poor. Other motives abound as do suspects--including a religious/survivalist cult headed by a felon or some of the many who participated in the long ago orgies Judd orchestrated. Flowers likes to stir things up and see what happens, and plenty does as the killings continue. Sandford keeps the reader guessing and the pages turning while Flowers displays the kind of cool and folksy charm that might force Davenport to share the spotlight more often.

Sandford, John Easy Prey
Berkley February 27, 20 0-425-17876-5 / 9780425178768 Paperback Very Good
Easy Prey is the 11th mystery to feature Lucas Davenport, who began his car eer back in Rules of Prey as a maverick homicide detective reminiscent of " Dirty Harry" Callahan. He did things his way and was often at odds with his superiors in the Minneapolis Police Department. Since those early days, Da venport has mellowed a little, and his background as a computer game-design ing, Porsche-driving womanizer has been somewhat reduced. Possibly age has become a factor, or it may be the fact that Davenport has been deputy chief since the sixth book in the series, Night Prey. The character may have cha nged, but the writing has remained consistently taut: the bad guys creepy, the mysteries suspenseful.

Sandford, John Secret Prey
Berkley December 2, 200 0-425-16829-8 / 9780425168295 Paperback Very Good
John Sandford is back with his dapper, dangerous Minneapolis deputy police chief Lucas Davenport for a ninth "preyer" meeting. Fans of the series will be glad to hear that it's full of smart suspense and deduction as well as explosive action. Davenport and his fellow cops are still recovering from t he deadly revenge scheme that maimed them in Sudden Prey, which seems to ha ve ended the relationship between Lucas and his doctor lady friend. This ac counts for the depression that dogs him as he is sent to investigate the ki lling of top banking executive Daniel Kresge in a hunting lodge north of Mi nneapolis. Any of Kresge's four fellow hunters--all employees at his Polari s Bank--could have shot him, and all had motives, as did his almost ex-wife . About halfway through the book we find out who the real killer is, just a few pages before Lucas does, and that villain is a masterful creation, an example of the banality of evil worthy of Hannah Arendt. This is where Sand ford's beautifully honed skills at creating suspense really kick in: he kee ps us fascinated as Davenport, revitalized by an affair with a jaunty colle ague, tries to turn what we all know into hard evidence.

Sandford, John Silent Prey
Berkley October 28, 200 0-425-22446-5 / 9780425224465 Paperback As New
A crisp clean softcover (as new). This streamlined thriller is a rematch for Minneapolis homicide cop Lucas Davenport and the insane killer he caught in Sandford's earlier slasher novel, Eyes of Prey. After psychotic pathologist Dr. Mike Bekker escapes from a New York courthouse and begins a killing spree, NYPD Lt. Lily Rothenberg asks Davenport, her former lover, to come to Manhattan and help the investigation. Despite Bekker's ruined face (courtesy of an enraged Davenport), the killer eludes capture and the bodies keep piling up, each with the eyelids cut off so that Bekker could photograph his victims as they died. Rothenberg gives Davenport an additional, undercover assignment--to ferret out the "Robin Hoods," a clandestine police vigilante group responsible for perhaps three dozen deaths, one of which was that of a fellow cop who might have been onto them. Paired with possible Robin Hood Det. Barbara Fell, Davenport taunts Bekker in the media, hoping to goad him into a mistake, but the grisly murders continue. As the momentum gathers, readers will speed through the surprise twists and confrontations of the last chapters.

Sandford, John The Night Crew
Berkley Books April 6, 2004 0-425-16338-5 / 9780425163382 Paperback Very Good
Anna Batory's evening starts with a frenzied animal rights raid and then mo ves quickly to the site of a suicide jump. It's all in a normal night's wor k for Anna, who leads the Night Crew, a freelance video team out to make a quick buck on sensational footage they can sell to L.A. news stations. But this night is different: the jumper is a teenager named Jacob Harper, and A nna's cameraman Jason beats a strangely hasty exit after filming the jump. A few hours later, Jason too is dead: shot and knifed. Jacob Harper's father is an attractive former cop who works out the connect ion between his son's death and Jason's. The two young men share a drug dea ler--and when Harper finds said dealer dead as well, he calls Anna to the s cene and shows her a creepy knife wound on the dealer's body: the name "Ann a" carved into his chest. From that moment on, Anna knows she's chasing dow n a killer who's got a thing for her--but who is it? A series of heart-thum ping encounters between Anna and her shadowy stalker keep this thriller mov ing at the dizzying clip that Sandford's fans expect. Those who love the Prey series for the quirks and contradictions of its antihero, Lucas Davenport, will find a kindred creation in Anna: an attractive loner, taciturn and tough-minded, a classical pianist with the fighting reflexes of a wild animal. Will Sandford keep bringing her back? Time will tell. --Barrie Trinkle
