Naked Prey by John Sandford
The chilling new Lucas Davenport novel by the number-one-bestselling author His old boss, Rose Marie Roux, has moved up to the state level and taken Lucas with her, creating a special trouble-shooter job for him for the cases that are too complicated or politically touchy for others to handle. Of course, Lucas is married now, and a new father, all of which is fine with him; he doesn't mind being a family man. But he is a little worried. If there's one thing Lucas Davenport knows, it's that for every bit of peace you get, you have to pay - and he's waiting for the bill. It comes in the form of two people found hanging from a tree, in the woods of northern Minnesota. What makes it particularly sensitive is that the bodies are those of a black man and a white woman, and they're naked. 'Lynching' is the word that everybody's trying not to say - but, as Lucas begins to discover, the murders are not, in fact, what they appear to be. Neither are they the end of it. There is worse to come - much, much worse...Filled with rich characterization and exceptional drama that are his hallmarks, this is Sandford's most suspenseful novel yet.
Gripping new fiction from a prolific author who regularly tops the bestseller lists in the USIn the woods of northern Minnesota the bodies of a naked black man and a white woman are found hanging from a tree, apparently lynched. Lucas Davenport investigates; now married, a new father and lately relocated due to the promotion of his boss, Rose Marie Roux. This is, to put it mildly, a sensitive case, with issues of race and local history lurking in the background, yet these murders are not what they at first sight seem to be. Sandford builds up the tension and suspense from the outset, leaving the reader in the grip of another highly effective thriller. Not yet as well known here as he is in the US, but the reputation is growing.
