So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as “The Five,” shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco. “We’re going to murder people who need to be murdered.” Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are up against a powerful vigilante group with an eye on vengeance in this stunning new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. He delivers consistent quality writing and tight, imaginative plotting every time. The great thing about Sandford is no matter how many bestseller books he has written or how famous he’s become he has never lost his passion for writing, as some authors have been prone to do. But in my considered opinion, John Sandford is probably the best crime fiction writer of our times. I loved the first one and am eager to read the next one.įeel free to disagree. That’s probably because Sandford is working on his second Letty Davenport (Lucan Davenport’s adopted daughter) novel. But disappointing because I assume we won’t be getting a new Virgil Flowers novel this year. I do and I’ve read every book in that series too. Not that I don’t love the Virgil Flowers character. This one is unique in that Sandford billed it as a Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers novel, which I found disappointing. I’ve been a Sandford and Davenport fan since reading my first Prey novel ( Rules of Prey, 1989) and I’ve read every book in the series since. Besides the Prey novels, Sandford is the author of the Kidd novels, the Virgil Flowers novels, and six other books. Righteous Prey by John Sandford, the pen name for the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Camp, is the thirty-second book in the Prey novels series featuring Lucas Davenport.
