Editorial Review:
Product Description:
#1 New York Times bestselling series featuring Lucas Davenport.
When a wealthy banker is shot during a hunting trip, Lucas Davenport suspects murder.
Amazon.com Review:
John Sandford is back with his dapper, dangerous Minneapolis deputy police chief Lucas Davenport for a ninth "preyer" meeting. Fans of the series will be glad to hear that it's full of smart suspense and deduction as well as explosive action. Davenport and his fellow cops are still recovering from the deadly revenge scheme that maimed them in Sudden Prey, which seems to have ended the relationship between Lucas and his doctor lady friend. This accounts for the depression that dogs him as he is sent to investigate the killing of top banking executive Daniel Kresge in a hunting lodge north of Minneapolis. Any of Kresge's four fellow hunters--all employees at his Polaris Bank--could have shot him, and all had motives, as did his almost ex-wife. About halfway through the book we find out who the real killer is, just a few pages before Lucas does, and that villain is a masterful creation, an example of the banality of evil worthy of Hannah Arendt. This is where Sandford's beautifully honed skills at creating suspense really kick in: he keeps us fascinated as Davenport, revitalized by an affair with a jaunty colleague, tries to turn what we all know into hard evidence. --Dick Adler

The first half of this book drags and drags. Between being caught up in the previous book in the series and the dull Wilson McDonald angle, this one didn't pick up until after the halfway point. When it finally did get going, it was a great ride to the end.

We start with a cast of bank executives on a hunting trip, and soon the president of the bank is dead. The possiblities range from those on the trip to just about anyone else. Soon the bodies pile up and the mystery goes on. A real page turner!

I'm a fan of John Sandford's PREY series, although I feel some entries are far better than others. Although many people seem to consider SECRET PREY a major comeback for the series, I found it a disappointment.
This is the ninth book in the series, and Lucas Davenport is pretty much invulnerable at this point, more like a superhero than an actual human being. In SECRET PREY, there's not a single scene where I felt like he was in any real danger. Most of the supporting and new characters ... Read More

In SECRET PREY, a bank executive is murdered while deer hunting, and Lucas Davenport must sort through a myriad of suspects and motives to find out who the twisted killer actually is. I've read all but a three of the "Prey" books, and they all have one thing in common. THEY ARE AWESOME. Don't get me wrong, they aren't perfect. I think there is too much bad language, for one, and, well that's about it. I read a few out of order then started reading the series in order.
Daniel S. Kresge is the ... Read More

The question of how far a person would go to gain power and prestige, especially when that person came from a background of abuse, is answered in this terrific continuation of the "Prey" series by John Sanford, featuring the ever-resourceful Lucas Davenport. When an apparent hunting accident turns into a murder investigation, things begin to heat up as an anonymous tipster points out a pattern of past "accidents" leading straight to a suspect. When that suspect is, himself, killed, the case should be closed. ... Read More
