Book Reviews of Sudden Prey (G K Hall Large Print Book Series)
Book Review: Painful and disturbing
Summary: 4 Stars
Do not expect to enjoy reading this book. It almost seems to be an expansion of the most chilling crime headlines in a large city paper.The unrelenting climate of the north-central states serves as background to this bleak story of sudden sociopathic rage. Characters suffering from weak personalities and poverty are sucked into a tornado of violence which spreads outward to encompass the innocent bystanders at scenes of crime and police families who are targets of revenge by criminals who blame specific police officers for the deaths of friends and relatives caught in sting operations. Behind it all is a primitive sense of justicereminiscent of the "kicked dog" which remembers the black boot and consequently bites any boot wearer who is unlucky enough to stumble into sight.Of course all is evntually resolved, but the picture of corruption, threats, and fear is chilling. Sandford has dealt with a number of tricky issues in this series, for example means and ends, but this terror defies logic. Can we ever logically understand madness?
Summary of Sudden Prey (G K Hall Large Print Book Series)
When Lucas Davenport and his team gun down two bank robbers in the middle of a heist, Davenport falls prey to the purest and simplest criminal motivation: revenge.Revenge is the engine which powers Sanford's seventh "Prey" thriller starring superslick Minnesota cop Lucas Davenport. When a dangerous female bank robber is killed in a shootout, her even more dangerous husband escapes from prison and begins a campaign of retribution against the families of Davenport and his team. As always with Sandford, excellent writing is the icing on an enjoyable cake. (Other Sandford "Prey" books: Eyes of Prey, Mind Prey, Night Prey, Rules of Prey, Silent Prey, Winter Prey.)
