About this title

Review:

Praise for EASY PREY:
'The 12th entry in Sandford's ever-entertaining Prey series finds Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport again rambling through a murky case with his unique combination of gutsy intelligence and aw-shucks attitude... As always, it's a joy to follow this rare cop who gets led more often by his gut instinct than by clues. His humour, understated and perverse, can be wildly funny, and the people he runs across are shrewdly conceived originals, cut from fabric way at the back of the bin' Publishers Weekly

'John Sandford is a brilliant writer' GUARDIAN
'Few do it better than Sandford' DAILY TELEGRAPH
'In a crowded market Sandford shines at the quality end' DAILY TELEGRAPH'
The stakes are high, the characters rich, the action relentless - here's a thriller that will make your hair stand on end' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'Grabs you by the shirt from the start... You'll probably read it in one big gulp' CHICAGO TRIBUNE
'Sandford creates a cracklingly authentic atmosphere, a you-are-there sense of place, a sharp and sympathetic feeling for the details of the police at work' LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW
'Sandford has crafted the kind of trimmed-to-the-bone thriller that is hard to put down' CHICAGO TRIBUNE
'After ten thrillers in his series about Minneapolis cop Lucas Davenport, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Camp, writing under his Sandford pen name, hits a home run over the curve of the earth as the brilliantly swift Certain Prey sinks a meat hook under the reader's jaw on page one and never lets up...Top suspense' KIRKUS REVIEWS
