Shadow Prey (Lucas Davenport Series #2) » (Abridged)

John Sandford began his career as a journalist using his real name, John Camp. He won a Pulitzer for feature writing before turning to mystery-suspense novels, simultaneously releasing two first novels under two different names in 1989.

In Shadow Prey, the crackling sequel to Rules of Prey, Twin Cities Sleuth Lucas Davenport teams up with NYPD lieutenant Lily Rothenberg to track down an elusive killer, known only as Shadow Love.

Among the victims:

• A Minneapolis slumlord
• A judge from Oklahoma City
• A Manhattan politician

The Murder weapon:

A Native American ceremonial Knife

Is Shadow Love just another serial killer, or is he fighting a holy war -- one in which Davenport is slated to be the next casualty? The frenzied and erotically-charged action brings Davenport to the gritty back streets and alleys of Minneapolis' Native American slums.

Performed by Ken Howard.

Boston Globe

Powerfully suspenseful and psychologically convincing.
