      In bestseller Sandford’s solid 18th Prey novel (after Invisible Prey
      ), Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent Lucas Davenport, who’s received numerous promotions in the course of the series, ought to be taking the desk aspects of his job more seriously. But the man remains more comfortable working a stakeout, interviewing suspects and taking down bad guys than he is filling out personnel evaluation forms on his staff—which explains why he’s still getting shot at, peeping at a cocaine dealer’s wife hoping for a glimpse of her husband and, at his wife’s behest, looking into the unsolved kidnapping and presumed murder of a wealthy young woman into the goth scene. It becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting goths as well as anyone, including Lucas, who gets in the way. While some pretty murky psychology encumbers the plot, Sandford delivers the kind of riveting action that keeps thriller fans turning the pages.

      Agent Lucas Davenport has his hands full with two cases--a stakeout of a drug dealer (through the movements of his wife) and the reluctant investigation of a woman whose daughter is missing. In this installment in the Prey series, Sandford also gives the reader a glimpse into the world of Goths while keeping both story lines moving. Richard Ferrone keeps the voices straight, from stakeout to investigation, heroes to villains. The voices he creates for a police colleague and assorted lowlifes are the most creative, but the distinct voice he applies to the main villain, a female, is a bit grating and whiny. Still, it serves to distinguish her from the other characters, and through his consistency Ferrone never wavers or confuses the reader. M.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

      Throughout this production it's clear that it's going to take a miracle to pull together all the unraveled strands of this eighteenth thriller featuring Lucas Davenport, the Minneapolis super-cop. Happily, Richard Ferrone manages to pull one off. In a strong, clear voice, Lucas explores the eerie world of Goth culture as he looks for the serial killer of young Goths. Sandford's minor characters are indeed minor, and Ferrone can't do much with them, including Lucas's wife, Weather. But he propels Lucas to the solution to the crimes, which, unfortunately, becomes clear long before the climax. While not Sandford's best, this is worth a listen--and it has a socko last line. M.T.B.
